On Saturday John & Ann were in the central Highlands to meet up with some old Uni friends and did a fine traverse of the Carn Mairg group. We did the full circuit anti-clockwise from Invervar, heading up the quality stalker's track for the first bit of the route. The going was fairly easy and not too wet considering how much snow melt there has been in the last couple of weeks.

Higher up the low cloud started to break and the drizzle eased off. We though that this was the start of the clearance that had been forecast, but it wasn't to be. We got as far as the top of Carn Mairg in reasoanbly clear conditions, then the clouds rolled back in for the rest of the day.

Our original plan had been to head up Ben Lawers from the north and get in a bit of skiing but there wasn't quite enough snow to make it worthwhile. Luckily we saw enough in the morning to put us off and views on the descent confirmed it. There was maybe enough to ski the top 1000ft sticking to the burns but it would be a long carry for not much action.
