…Taking Only Photos
2nd April 2025
A stunningly beautiful blue bird day to just be out there enjoying the mountains, sunshine throughout with hardly a cloud in the sky. Fantastic views to be enjoyed and endless angles for photographs to be taken, technically a temperature and other weather data also but in reality nothing that wasn’t already obvious. Like yesterday a cooling South-Easterly breeze at higher elevations limited the full effects of the warm temperatures lower down, t-shirt and shorts weather whilst moving if that’s your thing, but a light windproof jacket required when stopped. The remaining snow continues to thaw and diminish, the rate of obvious thawing most influenced by exposure to the sun verses shady areas showing little to almost no change. A few isolated cornices are hanging in there…
Tomorrow and the rest of the week continue very much the same, even next week is looking similar with forecasts suggesting dry and sunny weather across the UK.
The high summits of Stob Coire Sgreamhach, Bidean nam Bian, and Stob Coire nan Lochan.
The Creise with cornices still hanging in there….waiting their moment, maybe.
Typical snow cover on some higher summits, here Stob a Ghlais Choire descending towards Sron a Creise. Patchy cover in gullies and on steeper banks, and around coire rims and gully tops, elsewhere is extensive bare ground.
Little obvious change looking into Coire nam Beith, the shady snow patch near the summit only marginally diminished from yesterday.
A shady Broad Gully still complete, where as patches exposed to the sun are thawing and diminishing more rapidly.
Ironically, Stob nan Cabar, Buachaille Etive Beag, looking quite dominant in the foreground, Stob Coire Sgreamhach, Bidean nam Bian and Stob Coire nan Lochan with snowy patches the true indicator of their dominant height.
A panoramic view from East to West around the ‘Glen’ on a stunningly beautiful blue bird day.
