Goldeneye Goggle
I don't normally discuss work, however here is one of my recent design project I quite like.
Above is my limited edition Goldeneye White Goggle. The black version will go in to production, however the white is just a development sample.

Wednesday 11th February
From Glencoe 11 February 2009 |
Took a day off work, and what a day! I'd been watching the weather and although Glencoe had not received the amount of snow the rest of the country had recently been dealt with, I'd been watching the forecast and it was set to be bluebird. The carpark was busy but I was soon up there with my pre-paid ticket.
The snow was quite crispy and a few patches off ice were there to keep you on your toes.
There was not a cloud in the sky and temperatures were low, about -4.
I was on my own so got the whole area covered apart from the flypaper which was closed. So that left me shattered and managed to head down, belly full just before 3.00 and before it got dark.

Queens Park Glasgow February 2nd 2009
From Glasgow Snow |
Jon and myself had a little after work session making the most of conditions at Queens Park in Glasgow's South side. Avoiding tots on sledges, neds and the like we managed top shred the rad just a stone's throw from our flats and even got chips afterward. How cool is that?

Is The truth out there?
No snow for me this weekend. Not that I didn't try. Came down to
Cardross on the previous night to get a head start. Forecasts had been
promising more settled conditions and even sun. I awoke to a grey
morning with the trees swaying in the garden.
Straight on to the webcams to see what state the mountain was in.
Grey, with no sign of movement. Winterhighland was saying all lifts
were open. Skiscotland had one closed. However on the web cams I could
clearly see the two top lifts were not running. At some points they
even turned the webcam away from the lift. None of the websites
updated conditions either obviously making sure they didn't put anyone
off.
Maybe I'm a synic but something funny was going on. I ended up not
going.
