Bob, Gregor and Ross from Falkirk Community Trust and I were out today in the Drumochter area looking at navigation in winter conditions and safe route choice. We started from Dalnaspidal Lodge and took in Meallan Buidhe as part of the day.
East and South facing slopes were well scoured with the odd small pocket of fresh snow. Pretty good snow cover from about 600m. A base of old firm snow and less new snow than I was expecting in this area. What new snow there is has accumulated on North-East through West to South-West facing slopes. Very little precipitation through the day. Below freezing all day and moderate East winds.
