The Highlands of Scotland are the place to be right now - recent snow falls, low temperatures and blue skies and sunshine mean that if you like winter sports then you are in luck. I am not in luck - laid low with a knee injury but friends and colleagues are reporting back that the ski-ing was fantastic this weekend. Friends were also winter climbing in Glencoe over the weekend. They reported Stob Coire Nan Lochan to be busy in Saturday but conditions good on both Ordinary Route and Dorsal Arete, on Sunday they polished off Crowberry Gully - although thin in places it was in condition. For more info on winter climbing conditions go to the Abacus Mountaineering website.

It is not just fun for those into climbing and ski-ing, another friend enjoyed some easy walking in Leanachan Forest and said it was a winter wonderland with snow underfoot and not icy at all.

I had to content myself with taking pics ofthe amazing views.
