I’ve spent the week on the West Coast working with a group from the Dutch Police for Mountainplan. The week started with an ascent of the Cobbler in the Arrochar Alps in glorious sunshine followed by Ben Nevis by the CMD arete, a day in Glen Nevis and finally a snowy ascent of Bidean nam Bian in Glencoe.  With a low pressure system established over the UK for the latter part of the week, the group experienced all the Scottish mountain seasons in the week (sometime all in one day!)  I’ve included some photos of Ben Nevis taken on Tuesday to show the remaining snow although there has been another dusting since.
