Last report for this season

A stunning day to finish on.  This is the last blog for this season, thanks for all your support over the winter, and look out for our blogs and forecasts which will begin again next December.

Will leave you with these two photo's, one of The Great Slab in Lochain which is still hanging in there and the other a happy forecaster.

A real novelty this winter - goggles and gortex jacket have been cast aside!
