Sledging in the Cairngorms

Jim attempting to use a plastic sledge in soft snow on a snowfield on the descent from Carn Eag Dhubh, Ben Avon, Cairngorms.
The snow was very soft after having had the sun on it for several hours. The best tactic was to get speed up over 10ft or so of heather and then be launched onto the snow.
