In reply to kwoods:
> A quick look at MWIS would have shown some seriously gnarly conditions for tomorrow, and moreso of course for an eight year old. Nevis is in complete winter condition at the moment with a tonne of fresh snow and more to come.
A quick peek out of the car/bunkhouse/hotel window on either the drive up or on arrival would have revealed that the Scottish hills are still very much a tad wintry. Btw, 15 years ago I took ma 8 year auld laddie up a snowy Ben on Easter Sunday wearing a pair of wellies. They were a top of the range pair wi a fancy wee lacing arrangement that helped spare ma blushes. I had suitable footwear and equipment I hasten to add!
