Walked up by Windy Ridge to meet Alan at Ciste Mhearad then contoured round to Coire Raibert to check on the tor patch which has completely melted over the past 3 days. Over to Coire Domhain to ski the remaining patch there then back by Fiacaill a Choire Chais

Sunny, light breeze, warm

The snow was soft on the surface but still solid a couple of inches down. A little bit less in Ciste Mhearad than on the 31st July I was down to 10 turns though Alan managed more, so I'd estimate it's probably about 45mx25m. In the hot sun the edges were quite slushy.
I reckon the tor patch probably disappeared between late 1st or early 2nd Aug.
The patch in Coire Domhain was split into two. Going by the 24 turns on the larger section I'd reckon it must be about 60m long by around 40m at its widest.
Lovely weather to be out

Helen and Alan
