A lovely day on Cairngorm

Sue and I took the winter skills and mountaineering group into Coire Chais and up the back of the headwall where we found some great snow to use the crampons on. Once on the plateau and into the sun, we continued up to the summit to enjoy the stunning views today.
We continued our journey down into Ciste Mhiread and after exploring the snowholes, continued back down past a flock of ptarmigan and many skiers. We counted at least seven, ptarmigan that is, there were many more skiers enjoying the lovely day.
