With things looking distinctly gnarly
for the weekend and snow forecast on pretty much all the northern
hills, but much vagueness about when and how much, mountain web cams
are a great way of seeing what's actually happening out there in real
time.
Of course, it's also a good way of dodging work and doing some
outdoors dreaming while you're counting down the hours on a dull
Friday afternoon. Which is why we put together the OUTDOORSmagic
mountain web cam page.
We've linked to all the outdoor web cams we can find so you can
see exactly what's going on all over the UK. Right now there's a
dusting of snow on Snowdonia, some patches in the Peak and what looks
like a respectable covering in the Cairngorms, but it could all
change soon.
Anyway, here are the cam links for you, enjoy :-)
