Looking through sparse natural pinewood to the east end of Loch nan Sean-each above Glen Affric Route-finding consisted of jumping from heather tuft to heather tuft. The snow at this altitude was wading consistency as opposed to the reported glories of neve higher up. Why was Aonach Shasuinn never that clarted in snow when I was a whipper-snapper. Even the wading stuff would have skied well enough - maybe even John Rae's snaw shoes would have done the trick!

Looking over Loch nan Sean-each and acres of putative forestry towards Creag Dubh above Cougie I am fairly certain the forestry mapped was never planted or never grew rather than thrived and was hewn as is the common case hereabouts. I love Pinus Sylvestris but the current fashion for razing foreign species before maturity I am sure will be ranked as racist crime if our world becomes milder of manner.
