A good start - 1 done, 283 to go! Woke up to find several inches of snow but the sun was shining. Good views of Ben Klibreck and Ben Hope. Unfortunately by the time we were approaching the summit the cloud had descended - not total white out but definitely Scottish winter conditions, hoping that it starts to melt over the next few weeks or this is going to be rather hard going! Me and Gill sheltered under the group shelter on the summit, very effective even with spindrift blowing in under one edge. Gill then produced a bottle of champagne! (small, so as not to interfere too much with locating the edge of the steep cliffs in the distinctly poor visibility). Weather broke down even more on the way down and finished in heavy snow and rain. Gill then drove back to the Altnahara B&B...while I cycled back in the pouring rain. A bottle of wine on the house from Mandy and Lindsay to set off the trip was a good end to the day however - cheers!
