Lochnagar
24th February 2012
Parking up above Crathie (approaching Lochnagar from the North) the corrie and the snow look a long way away. Temperatures of 16c in Ballater during the week have taken their toll. Last Friday the loch in the corrie was well frozen. Today a gale force westerly wind was blowing the remaining ice onto the shore.

When working on the snow profile a bum bag is really useful (especially in bad weather) for all the bits and pieces. Here our Canadian Senior Forecaster proudly displays his “fanny pack”, a gift from the organisers of the Vassaloppet 90km cross country ski race in Sweden.
