Time for a brew after digging. Creag Meagaidh Jan 2012

A great way to spend a night out in the hills in winter. This two day trip will include two hillwalking days combined with a night in a snow shelter. As well as an important skill to have for a emergency it is also a fun activity in it's own right. This trip can also be combined with a 2 day winter skills course. All equipment is provided.

Snow shelters can take on various forms depending on available types and volumes of snow. This igloo was built in lean conditions right on the summit of Creag Meagaidh in November.

Digging snow can be hard work, but within a few minutes a snug shelter can be formed for a rest and shelter from the wind and snow.

The views from the entrance can be magnificent. After all the hard work it's time to relax with a hot drink and food.
