Have been up in the Highlands with a friend of mine from Aviemore. Heather Morning in the Mountain Safety Advisor for the Mountaineering Council of Scotland. She also is a member of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team and has a Search and Rescue dog, Milly. Those of you out there who read Trail magazine will know of Heather's and Milly's exploits from many of Heather's articles! She's a very busy girl, but she managed to come out with me and spend a few days out West on some big hills. Conditions were great - cold and crisp, with a covering of snow on the tops. We stayed in a Bothy, which is like an open shelter, free to use, but very basic. Bearnais Bothy is in a very idyllic, but isolated location, but it suited our needs perfectly as a base to walk up some Munros and a Corbett. I am working towards the Winter Mountain Leader award and this trip certainly gave me a good opportunity to get some quality mountain days in for my logbook!
