Waking in Ballater to low cloud and heavy rain our expectations for the day were not great. The rain had stopped by the time we left the car park in Glen Muick. We skied from the car.

Etive, ruchsblock test, awareness on the move, first winter walk, hasty pits, visable signs, 958m, Stob Dubh, snow transportation, bealach

Today Emma was out for her first winter walk and we just wanted something small and sweet. We headed into Glencoe and took a wander up Buachaille Etive Beag. On the bealach we decided to just go up onto Stob Dubh (958m) and catch the nice views over onto Glen Etive. We talked about avalanche awareness on the move, looking at hasty pits, walking ruchsblock test and identifying visable signs of snow transportation. Several other walkers were out enjoying the spectacular views and great weather.
