Good photos John Also saw them on your facebook a/c. We were out teaching Basic Navigation today and because we were standing around a lot, it was very cold out. We could see snow on tops odf the mountains.

I wasn't too far away from you Gaz, we did a loop of Meelbeg. Nothing like the snow that jsurginor had, depending on which side of the wall you where on.

Nice side:


Rough side:

(more pics)

p.s. John: I'm off all week and been thinking about bombing over to Slieve league to have another go at it. Where you going to try to do it one day including the drive? Wasn't sure if it would be possible, thinking perhaps heading the day before and grabbing a B&B in Teelin, or sleep in the car in the lower car park.

Looks great, I fancy a bit of snow hiking myself. Hopefully we'll get plenty between now and Jan!

The worst I have been in was -22. I was no fun fair ride but I was on the roof of Africa so I didn;t mind or care.

I think over -25 is when frostbite needs to be considered? I mean, say an hour without gloves, then your finger tips are at risk?

Great pics Liam. You must cut a scary sight when you're running around with a couple of torches getting the  long exposure shots :)
