: Joe in an emergency snow shelter

Out with Ed, Beth, Joe and Callum for an EICA Ratho Winter skills day. We started from the Lawers visitor centre and headed up looking at navigation skills. We then looked at movement skills on snow and ice before heading up Meall Corrinaich. On the way down we looked at self-arrest and then digging emergency shelters.
A mild day: +7C in the car park and freezing levels above the tops. Plenty of snow around still and folk out on skis.
