Wetter than expected on the Plateau

This was a day that turned out to be wetter than expected! We went up to Coire an t-Sneachda and up the goat track over the top and down to the shelter stone. The scramble was the best Gill scramble ever it was a shame that the top half was still covered in snow. We were going to go to the top of Ben Macdui but as it started raining and the clagg had settled we decided to head back. We had a little trouble location the path at the ridge but made it ok. We then went back down the goat track and took the path that traverses up to the fiacaill ridge and down the ski slopes to have a look at the new lift that will replace Sheila. And back to the car. Home and then back up to the car park to get the sticks and Rogers gloves! Ha ha
