Long Winter
After a couple of weeks of milder weather in March the winter returned with another long spell of calm high pressure and bitterly cold temperatures on the summits. This lasted well into April when these pictures were taken during a winter round of An Teallach.
Here the group is approaching the rounded summit ridge of Sail Liath – the beginning of the An Teallach ridge.
And this picture looks south-east to over the Fisherfield wilderness. Spring conditions have gradually won through in the North West and gofurther Scotland has been busy at the crag and on the summits throughout April and into May – perhaps these will be the last pictures of full winter conditions for some time.
