Day 19 of Scottish season 14/15. A slight haze in the morning as I left Glasgow. I’d spent the day before working outside on the East coast at Elie beach. The skies were blue all day and Saturday was set to be the same. By the time I was at the top end of Loch […]

Day 16 of Scottish season 14/15. I made an early start and was up the hill at Glencoe Mountain Resort before 9:00. During the week it had been snowing heavily. It had warmed up and the snow was wet and heavy. It was fun though. Main Basin was great but one of the best runs […]

Day 15 of Scottish season 14/15. Just an afternoon, but worth it. The drive was an adventure in itself. Leaving from Campbeltown there was a white dusting on the hills in the morning. I left just after 10:00 a.m., it would take over 3 hours to get to Coe, but I was keen to make […]
