If only a day later

Given that Stuart and I could only manage a day out on Friday we could only hope that the good weather would move in quicker than forecast.  Unfortunately not; Saturday and today has given
us nice crisp conditions with great visibility for the most part.

Heading into the corrie

So in we went to the northern corries again this time because we had a time limit in which to get out and play.  Given that when we got into Coire an't Schnechda the Mountain rescue box was under snow and none of the crags were visible; we headed for the Mess of Pottage.
In the poor visibility and high winds we strayed too high and ended up near the rim of the corrie.  Needless to say at this point I wasn't best pleased and for some reason wasn't in the right mindset for down climbing and getting on a proper route.  Quite frankly we were a bit pi##ed off that yet again we were forced to get out on a day that provided us with great climbing conditions yet rubbish weather.

So, after lunch on the plateau we navigated to the cairn at 1141 and headed back to the car in somewhat windy and biting weather...

Alas, we will not be beaten as our resolve is hardened and our determination even greater whatever the weather (70mph winds excluded!).
