Ben Chonzie from Invergeldie - not very imaginative, but the weather was not for enticing us further.
:: Weather ConditionsRain at car, turning to snow at 500m, very limited viz on top. On descent could not tell if we were actually moving on the fresh snow due to white out. Evidently we were - as we passed our turn off by over 1km.
:: Snow Conditions and DistrubtionA lot of fresh, but quite heavy lower down. Above 800m it was quite good. Fence line burried in places, so plenty of it!
