Passed by this wintry gully on the way to Aonach Beag, liked the contrasts of light in this picture with the sun shining on the hummocks below.

Weather closed in on the higher bits, cloud and snow flurries, no view from Aonach Beag, just this picture of the summit cairn to finish with.

Aonach Beag, Munro number 224. Felt the first touch of Winter on this trip, the top clouded in, heavy snow for a while. A fierce hail storm driven by strong winds on the way out after which the sun shone, so a real mixture.
