Picturesque………not!
4th April 2016
A day of low cloud, which didn’t lift through the morning and steady showers. Â The snowpack is thawing at all levels, and steadily diminishing, as evidenced by the overflowing burns and soggy boots. Â The overnight fresh snow was insufficient to obscure yesterdays footsteps round the summit of Meall a Bhuiridh.
Best views were lower down the Glen – Stob Coire nam Beith almost clear.
Wreathes of cloud on Stob Dearg further up the Glen
Some cracking in shallow surface layers of the snowpack due to footfall
A shallow crown wall (5cm.) from a wet snow slab release. It was unclear when this had occurred.
Large snowflakes precipitating – difficult to see in picture! Â Later the snow turned to rain at all levels.
A gushing burn – it tells its own story.
