It's been a damp and atmospheric day in the Cairngorms. Danial and Steven went for a walk over to Ben MacDui returning via Cairngorm summit. The overall snow cover is similar to the Christmas period with a mixture hard snow, slush and ice on the plateau. Visibility was poor on the plateau so good navigation skills were essential! Tomorrow will turn cold again so the snow and trails will freeze and become very icy in places.
