Do like snowy trees myself and that is a great walk out to Ryvoan especially along the high path that winds its way through the native woodland.<br /><br />A bit too much snow for me :lol: !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337650411407660499.post-2051425199200514482010-03-01T00:04:49.151+00:002010-03-01T00:04:49.151+00:004 stone, yeah that's about right... ;)

I've done Bynack More before (a while ago right enough) but even with that knowledge of the route it was impossible yesterday to get a vague idea of where the path starting from that signpost was supposed to be. We were literally wading through waist deep stuff as soon as we left the path to the bothy and forward progress was well-nigh impossible. We noticed a winter skills leader nearby breaking the trail for his charges by crawling on all fours to spread his weight, so that gives an idea I suppose!<br /><br />You're probably no' four stone overweight like me, mind you, so that's bound to help.<br /><br />;)<br /><br />We were certainly thinking snowshoes would have been the only answer to get anywhere across that stuff, but maybe if you could locate the actual path it would be a bit easier.<br /><br />I'm not helping much, am I?<br /><br />;)scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14571301189516858480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337650411407660499.post-62956422632666510092010-02-28T23:44:46.478+00:002010-02-28T23:44:46.478+00:00Perfect :)
