Christmas Eve Allt a'Mhuillinn
This started out as a "let's-see-how-far-we-get-on-this-cold-dreich-day" stroll from the North Face car park at Torlundy and ended as a fabulous walk that took us above the cloud to just below the north face of Ben Nevis. The superb path alongside the Allt a'Mhuillinn made it easy going in the cold, frosty conditions. When we stopped for a break a few hundred meters before the CIC hut I found it most bizarre that the light breeze was now distinctly warm! I guess we had come through the sinking cold air and into the warmer air above. It's not often the temperature goes up the higher you get! We probably met only about half a dozen others out - we were all well rewarded for heading through the clouds. Photo credit - Andrew's new toys of camera and wee tripod.
