Nothing stopping you going up the funicular and getting a bit of lunch in the ptarmigan.
Excellent views, when it's clear !There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes.

PS Just has a gander at the snow forecast for the next several days, you might be lucky on Sunday. Contour = freezing altitude.

SWMBO just bought me a nice pair of swimming shorts from M&S, Inverness today!! I keep threatening to take the winters off SWMBO's car but she sez no way, if I do that it'll snow. We are expecting snow sometime soon though, good old lambing snow. Just when you think it's all over bang, it chucks it down.
