Mist Cairn

Notes from hill walks, cairns and weather. Updated when the fog lifts.

Why cairns

A cairn is a pile of stones that says "someone was here and found the way". On a clear day you barely notice them. In mist they are the whole route.

Kit list

Map and compass before phone. Two pairs of gloves. Something hot in a flask. Turn back earlier than you think you should.

Log

Autumn: low cloud on the ridge, three cairns rebuilt, one lost. Winter notes to follow.
