The day started with a very snowy drive from Cardross. The worst stretch being between Tyndrum and Rannoch Moor. By the time I got there it was 10.40 and the carpark was full. luckily I had mum’s Ka and managed too squeeze it in a small gap (at an angle). It was a bit blustery […]

I went along to represent Trespass to the Kelvingrove SnoStorm. Niels and Emma popped along to enjoy the sun and snow action.
