Creag Mhor, Beinn Heasgarnich

17 miles, 1350m ascent, 10 hours

A long winter's day, once again with no views of any description.  Once off the big track, it was more trailblazing in knee deep snow, so I felt like I'd had a good day out at the end as did Ben.  Navigation was challenging in the thick mist and snow, especially when snow also fell from the sky.  Fortunately the wind wasn't too strong and it felt like a good mountaineering day which Ben managed remarkably well, getting round the 17 miles in good time considering the very heavy snow conditions.  The hoar formations were magnificent as the photos show.
