Incredible weather on Friday provided a fine incentive for those work-dodgers amongst us to see the festive holidays out in style. Myself and Yvonne did the full horseshoe round Glen Muick and the Dubh Loch, taking in Lochnagar and its four neighbouring Munros.

The sun shone all day, nicely offsetting the low temperature (-8 at car park) and fresh breeze on the plateau. The paths were pretty icy lower down. Higher up, the snow was still rock hard, now with an inch or two of dense powder in places. The cliffs looked in good condition; at least one party could be seen in the corrie.

The going was good, and we reached Broad Cairn around half three, just in time to paparazzi a few ptarmigan in the fading light. An excellent day out!
