St Silas Winter Walking Weekend: 3/4 February 2001

• Twelve folk from St Silas church in Glasgow went along.
• Our guides were Chris and Stuart from The Rock Outdoor Adventures.
• We stayed in the Badenoch Christian Centre in Kincraig (a few miles from Aviemore) for easy access to the Northern Corries of the Cairngorms.

Day 1:

Winter clothing and equipment is inspected by Chris . . .

Boots lurk menacingly in the corridor . . .

No one owns up to wearing cotton . . .

Lunch in Coire an t-Sneachda

The cameraman began to slide downhill . . .

On the slope below Central Gully

Crampons on

Approaching the snow scoop below the crags

Trying a bit of ice climbing

The weather starts to get worse

Waiting for the other group to finish

Jo working on the sticky toffee pudding!

Day 2:

On the road in Glen Feshie

Hard going across the heather . . .

In Coire Garbhlach

Powder snow on the upper slopes

Turned back by very poor weather

Final rest by the river before heading
back to the cars
