We ascended Craig Bheag (again) via the Kingussie Golf Course. The silly sign was still there.
Contrary to two days ago, the sun could barely be seen through the dense obscurities of cumulonimbus clouds. From the cumulonimbi (fluffy storm clouds), lochfuls of snow were descending. I often sank into snow-drifts. It was fun, despite the tiny teeny weeny wee fact that we couldn’t see much of where we were going and even less of where we were supposed to be going. We lost our positioning often.
We finished over 2½ hours of walking/running/crawling/falling/jumping/bumping-into-trees to find that the house that we were staying in was devoid of light bar a few smoky bees-wax candles that a local bee-keeper had lent to us. Heavy snow on the power-lines had once again brought Kingussie’s electric supply to a halt.
