UKC

Bit of an odd one, but do many of you use Instagram for checking winter conditions? Or use it at all? I thought it might be quite useful to have a UK Winter Conditions tag for those that do use it. Would anyone find that useful?

In reply to Caspar:
I've tried using it to check winter conditions before. It can be quite useful but you have to search for lots of specific hashtags, like #snowdonia, #lakes, #bennevis but you then end up scrolling through lots of old and usually crappy pictures. And forget about searching for #snow, #ice!!

I like the idea of a specific hashtag for conditions. Maybe just use something like #snowdoniawinterconditions, #lakeswinterconditions, #benneviswinterconditions like the forum titles on here.

Anyway, here's my instagram page

#scotwinter is usually interesting on twitter, I imagine instagram shall be the same

In reply to Caspar:

Just follow climbers who get out a lot. I've found it pretty useful for seeing whats in. Just another item in the toolbox for planning routes.

In reply to Caspar:

Try #scottishwinterclimbing

Should be good if folk use it to see a broad spectrum of the activity going on throughout the Scottish hills.

Im up here all winter and I'll be tagging my shots with that.

#scottishwinterclimbing and #scotwinter both seem like good shouts. I'll keep an eye out!
