Easter 2010 - Sun & Snow

Plenty of plans for further skiing have been hatched, but none have come to fruition yet, with the exception of an evening plod on the Monadhliath moors behind Tomatin. With plenty of snow left on the Cairngorms in particular though, who knows. We got out and about a little though over Easter with a family trip to Farr Beach at Bettyhill on Good Friday.

Farr Beach, Bettyhill, a stunningly beautiful spot

And a trip to Tomatin where we were met by 40cm of snow on the ground and had to dig our way in...

.....and naturally build an igloo. The Scotland-Landscapes igloo builders, Jason & Gavin posing. It was all for the kids of course.

Skiing on the moorland tracks behind Tomatin at around 400m late in the evening. These hills have been snow covered almost the whole time between mid December and Easter.

Just a few days later we had the kids eating tea al fresco in the garden on Scotland's north coast, but that was before the winds turned northerly again!
