It was meant to have snowed on Friday and Saturday at that height, so I was expecting a lot more.
There are often pockets of snow on the north slopes in the Cairngorms into the summer.
I was once out doing the traverse of the Black Mount in Glencoe - a long walk - on a blistering June day, and I ran out of water. On the slope at the end of the walk, as I came down to the ski centre, there was a patch of snow which was the most wonderful thing in the world - thirst quenching and cooling!
