Burn of Coire Breac An awkward one this - getting across the grid line involved standing on huge drift on a corrie headwall and assuming that the old snow was stable. There was a lot of avalanche debris in the corrie below. The view is down the burn towards Glen Lethnot and snow free terrain. Cloud has erased the top of Hill of Wirren.

Electric fence on West Knock A temporary solution to the electric fence problem: snow has buried the double fence which was built to exclude deer from grouse moors. There is a crossing place near the summit of West Knock.
