Moved9 years ago today I took this pic on the slopes of Cairn Lochan, the idea was two people in a big landscape.
It was only later that I realised there were 2 more people visible coming down off Braeriach in the distance on the left.
Needs a click.
pandoraBritain's long-lasting snow patch melts away for 10th time in 300 years
Nicknamed “the Sphinx”, the hardy patch of snow is found on #Braeriach (Scotland’s third-highest mountain at 1,296m) near #Aviemore in the #Cairngorms. Before 2000 it had melted only three times in the last 150 years.

#TIL: There is a Wikipedia page dedicated to snow patches in Scotland 😃

JennyA very long day in the #Cairngorms on Saturday but easily some of the best views in the #UK - looking towards #CairnToul and #SgòrAnLochanUaine from beautiful #Braeriach - no photos every truly give the impression of the enormous scale of the place.

The second biggest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Macdui and its neighbour, Cairn Gorm today in the Cairngorms. Munro no. 47 and 48 for me today and my first 4000 ft-ers.

Darren JonesA Bluebird day with perfect Alpine conditions out on the #Cairngorms today. Up on the high tops at #Munro height with great views of #CairnToul, #AngelsPeak #Braeriach, and even #Lochnagar in the distance but holy guacamole I had to put in some graft; climbing through thigh deep snow zaps every ounce of energy and you can forget about being able to see/follow any paths!
Probably best that my other half gave today a miss as she’d not have thanked me for dragging her through that depth of snow ❄️🥾🏔️
