| Snow-shoed it up the Cateran Trail from Spittal, the snow getting deeper and icier the higher we climbed. Creag an Dubh Shluic was relatively easy, but the snow-wade up Ben Earb was very hard work in sunny conditions. We returned via the Dalmunzie House - a spectacular glen trek in such glorious weather. | summitter | 24/01/2021 |
