In reply to Flinticus:
Yeah I did get out, wind comes and wind goes; we all know what mountain forecasts can be like!
I headed up to Cairngorm, it was clearly rathy breezy from the car park, but any time out in the hills is worth it in my book. I stayed on the leeward side of Fiacaill ridge up until the saddle before the difficulties, popping up into the wind on the top of the ridge every now and then to admire Coire an t-Sneachda. It was clear that going up the ridge proper, or onto the plateau, was not a sensible idea, so I then traversed around into Coire an Lochain and had a nice potter around in the shelter there before heading back down the main track to the car park. Not an epic day out by any stretch, but a lovely few hours to clear the head.
