Morven from the north. Started at Tillypronie junction. Tracks through forest and onto the hill up towards the bothy and eagle below Preas Whin. A few cm of snow and icy underneath, increasing to ~10cm higher up with some unpredictable drifting. Looking stunning in the sun but a really cold wind from the west - first real taste of winter. Heavy going climbing from the eagle to the top through deeper heather / rock all hidden by the snow and sadly the cloud came in too. Glad of second pair of gloves and buff / hat, but could have done with winter tights and a spare pair of over-trousers too (note to self). Didn't linger on top and headed off the eastern ridge initially, before angling down towards the forest. Mostly nice going, through snowy heather, and then picked up bits of 4wd track lower down. Rejoined outgoing route at top of the forest.
Time and distance all an estimate as must have knocked off gps watch at the bothy.
