There's a bit more over 1000m, which I suspect led to the Ben Nevis avalanches. We did see ice climbers :freeze: today near Laggan, and there's certainly plenty of ice around even at lower levels. We're off to snow camp tonight. Got to do something silly for new year! :freeze: There’s masses of snow on the Cairngorm side, but very little in Fort Bill.

My worry for the Lakes is that it does attract the less experienced :roll: , and isn't covered by any av forecasting (unlike Scotland and SAIS) - fingers crossed is all I'm thinking, there's definitely just as much hazard about :shock: And others elsewhere in Scotland, in locations not usually associated with high av risk.

I'd be interested to know what it's like higher up - but stay safe, lots of dodgy snow about at the minute and people are getting caught out :sad: Hmmm, less snow you say?
