Wanderings up North

The first thing i noticed as i woke was....it was quiet....the wind had gone 😃,i reached out found my lighter and light the stove a thick frost covered the inside of my shelter as the water in my pot went from freezing too hot  So after dressing and with brew in hand i ventured out to see the start of the new day..there was a crunch to the ground (The temp having dropped to -4c overnight) with a tiny dusting of fresh snow on the very tops But you could clearly see it was going to be a cracking day to be in the mountains,the whole ridge from Ben Nevis along,over the Grey Corries too Stob Ban was laid out in a cold relief  So it was a picture heavy start,with superb spring views in all directions,i put the stove on for a 2nd brew and breakfast,willing the sun to get round to my shelter,to aid with drying off the ice,on both sides of the fly, as it started to melt in the early morning sun Trailstars either side of Ben Nevis  So with the ice rubbed off the inside and outside of my shelter
