Mess of Pottage and winter skills

Ron took Peter and Martin for a journey onto steeper ground today and I tagged along to enjoy the day and the chat!
They climbed up alongside the Mess of Pottage then headed off to Coire Domhain to look at emergency shelters. I went down by the Goat Track to have a look at the climbs and the queues for the popular routes - Red Gully and Goat Track Gully had heaps of folk waiting to climb and that was quite late on in the afternoon! The routes did look good but unfortunately my photos don't do them justice.

The weather was windy again and the paths were very slippy. The Goat Track was quite a steep descent and not the place for a slip as the rocks below in the corrie looked decidely uninviting!
