#thinkwinter

Summer didn’t last long on here, did it? A lot has been going on and not a lot has been happening. A summer of injuries and inactivity meant I’ve not been carrying a camera. I’ve been trying to be patient and allow myself to recover in order to make the most of winter. I had a series of torn calf muscles following my broken elbow in the summer. Im just planning a day up the hill tomorrow so heading over to @scottishavalancheservice for this afternoon’s update. I see there was a small avy near the Haggis Trap yesterday. Hope I see you on the hills. It’s been a minute. #thinkwinter #scotlandisnow #winter #argyllandbute (at Cardross) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmrsQDQoyzR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Getting stuck into some ice axe arrest practice the other week .... All our winter kit is now sharpened, dried and packed away until next year. .... Hopefully we’ll weather the storm and come out fighting on the other side. ... #winterskills #winter #scotwinter #thinkwinter #scotland #ig_scotland #iceaxe #iceaxearrest https://www.instagram.com/p/B-FUyAnDH6d/?igshid=537nhxrokc8v

Would be rude not to ski today 🤘🏔 ..... Pretty good view of the north face of #bennevis can’t wait for the snow to settle down, the ice will be epic! .... @jottnar #skiing #scotwinter #thinkwinter https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rRec3DQC2/?igshid=a60gwnyle59g

The aim of today was some hard skills practice, crampon technique and some ice axe arresting! Slightly more wind today but we did still enjoy some sunshine ☀️ 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏔 ..... @ami_professionals #winterskills #thinkwinter #scotwinter #scottishwinter #snow @visitcairngorms (at Cairngorm Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CmtzcppCX/?igshid=169ij93vy8yc9

A great start to our week of winter skills, new snow and some good navigation practice yesterday and a stunner of a day up Meall a Buachaille today! ..... @amiprofessionals #thinkwinter #scottishclimbing #climb #scotland #scotwinter #winterskills #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climbing_is_my_passion #jottnar #conquergiants #picoftheday #adventure #explore @visitcairngorms @hiddenscotland (at Meall a' Bhuachaille) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9AIF54jfTR/?igshid=lt7rra8bzb3j
