All White for Winter

Snow everywhere! And this time we managed to get to Glentui with a camera before it all melted. We met some of the locals and they told us that there was 70cm on the ground before the warm norwesterly came through and melted alot of it. It was the biggest snowfall they had seen.

The main road out to Glentui was completely covered in some places and very icy but we managed to get to the base of Glentui and walked up from there. So pretty! White powder snow covering everything. We headed up to the hut carrying some wood and tools. Thanks to some good wool insulation it was warm inside.

We spent the time working out how and where best to put a bridge linking the two sleeping lofts so it is easy to cross from one side to the other. Then we filled in some tricky little bits of plywood cladding in the loft area. With our thermos flasks of hot tea and soup for lunch, some interesting work and a novel and beautiful environment the afternoon passed happily.
