Due to a late start, caught the gondola up & walked in from the upper station onto Annoch mor. Practised snow trenching and snow pits on route up. Once on the main plateau vis closed in but still reminded warm, Nav down onto saddle where we looked at the head walls & Avalanche debris in the main gully on the west. Carried on up the ascent to Annoch Beag maintaining bearings and trying to keep eyes on the horizon line with the vis coming in. At summit of Beag decided to turn around & head back via the same route due to time appreciation & last Gondola down.
Great day out in Scottish sun !!
