I had a beautiful walk on the mountain! Next time I'll take my crampons lol but for today I stuck to a more flat trail.

Interesting listening to #BBCScotland Scotland Outdoors just now.

In the segment on snow, the presenter Mark Stephen talked about colours of snow and mentioned watermelon snow - the colour is due to microalgae. More specifically the red carotenoids in them they use to protect themselves from intense light
