6:30 start from Glasgow to head up to Coe, the going was slow with a few idiot drivers on the A82 as usual and a few road works. Spent about 40 minutes in the queue once there for my ticket and the car park was full again. Turns out it was a school holiday. The […]

Take whatever chance nature gives you to ride in Scotland

Made this little movie on a day I quit the office and headed for the hills. Thursday 30th January was a small weather window in a succession of storms that brought record amounts of snow to Glencoe Mountain Resort. Even the Cliffy Chair had to be dug out!

A snowy drive across Rannoch Moor ended in a full car park at @GlencoeMountainResort. After the queue for tickets I made my way up the access chair and had a warm up run down Mugs Alley. Great coverage, lower down a bit grippy with ice. Some fresh was being blown around making for some soft […]

Glencoe, Saturday 4th January 2014
