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 […]

End of my season 2008
Well it has been a great season, but Nevis Range has decided not to open this weekend so I think I have to concede defeat and realise I’m not going to beat my record season. I was only 3 visits away! I shouldn’t be grumbling but I must admit that as I type this there […]
