Nick, Christine and Jago based themselves at Braemar Youth Hotel for a weekends munro bagging. Nick and Christine headed for Carn Bhac from Inverie. Carn Bhac is a featureless mound in a remote area and is approached via Glen Ey and Alt Cristie Beag.

The summit it was misted over and views were non-existent but nevertheless they enjoyed the day out.

As Christine and Nick headed south Jago headed north from Linn of Dee his objective being Angels Peak via Corrour Bothy . White out conditions prevailed even at low levels making navigation difficult and it was with some relief that the bridge and then the bothy came into view,

After a refreshment stop in the bothy he climbed to the summit via Coire Odhar avoiding snow cornice formations on the way.

On Sunday worsening weather conditions hastened the journey home over the Cairnwell.
