Please can we remind each other to take care out there? Winter up here is ace, but let us not repeat last year. Pass the word on.
[url= http://www.sais.gov.uk/ ]SAIS[/url] and [url= http://www.mcofs.org.uk/home.asp ]MCofS[/url] are there to help... As a reminder, I had a text from an old colleague about nearly missing an avalanche a couple of days ago, and now Killin outdoor shop post this, taken last week from the village of the summits of Tarmachan ridge:

Snapshot of a landslide , taken last week on Tarmachan Ridge . Most of the snow gone , but more expected in next few days . Vigilance and correct clothing/equipment required - let's be careful out there

If they still do them the MCoS Avalanche awareness course is a very good one and highly recommended. It's also cheap and a very full day.
