In reply to Scomuir:
Probably bike in from Straloch and do the hills NW of Glenshee. Not decided just where to bivvy just yet, probably see how the weather pans out. There's plenty snow looking into the Gorms from the north, I'll be chuffed if I can ditch the axe & crampons and go lighter.
Please don't jinx it by using the word that indicates the season after spring, I've been looking for it for an eternity!
