Cramalt Craig from Megget
Sunshine and lollipops, rainbows and lemon drops ... well, sunshine at least, and great snow in the Moffat and Tweedsmuir Hills. A wee tour on beautiful snow from Megget to Cramalt Craig, and I was a pussy cat lapping up the sunshine on milder slopes while Pete launched himself off cornices onto the steeps.

Start of the day
The obligatory day start photo. Around 11.30 am at Megget reservoir.
On the track up
Cramalt beckons, Pete eyes up the cornice in the big bowl, and the sun is beating down.
Moutain hares
Two hares in winter coats bobbing further and further upslope as we climbed.
Checking out the snow
Pete's off to get a closer look.
Nice snow
And Pete's happy with what he sees :-)
Pete dropping the cornice
No easy way in, so why not just drop it.
Full bowl
I'm led to believe the snow was awesome, dude.
Tracks
One of my pussy cat lines. I prefer to keep my feet on terra firma, I like the sunshine and I like to see where I'm going.

Under Dun Law
Beautiful powder under Dun Law. Proper hero snow.
At the bottom
Tracks got a bit claggy lower down though, the snow had succombed to warmth and crusting.
Snow track
A cat track piste all for me :-) On the way out back to the car.
