Glencoe, Tuesday 29th December 2009

My first day of the season. Its been cold and snowy everywhere since before Christmas and I thought I'd try to get up before the year was out. An icy drive up through frozen scenery got me there eventually. £30 for not quite the full area, but since they have changed ownership yet again its hard to begrudge them. The plateau poma was for access only as the base was thin. The top did have nice soft snow, but alot of rocks were pocking through. Still need more to fall to get a good base. The main basin is not full and mugs alley is very thin. Still, a good start.

 

Wish I was there

Missing what looks like a glorious start to the season at Coe. Hopefully sniffles will clear up and I can get up there in the next few days.

Glencoe Start to Season?

Considering Glencoe tomorrow. Will my knee hold up?

Inaction

Thinking it's about time I gave the website an overhaul. This is one reason why not alot has been happening with it. Well I suppose it's also because, well not alot has been happening.I'm planning a solo cycle trip around the Western Isles. Barra and Uists and Harris, maybe Lewis. I hope to fill this blog and the site with the story and some pictures. Maybe even do a book if I get images I'm happy with.
So, remember to check back. Hopefully the trip will be completed by end of July and I'll have plenty of content.
