Winter Climbing in Scotland Raeburn Hut

A cracking weekend up in Scotland, on Saturday Greg, Steve, Tony (Guests) Sue and I walked the Creag Meagaidh horse shoe in mostly white out conditions. When the weather cleared we had a beautiful view of the valley. On the way up back into the cloud on the plateau, we bumped into Shirley and Dave who had been unable to locate the top due to a faulty GPS, together we paced on a bearing lead by Greg and found the target, with some GPS help. On Sunday, Sue, Greg and I climbed Fiacaill ridge, a lovely little ridge. Unfortunately we had an hour long cold wait whilst another group cleared, but after that it was plain sailing. Thanks to everyone who made the weekend good fun.
