Glencoe Mountain resort It was finally here. 7th May had been marked on the calendar for some time as closing day. Glencoe Mountain Resort was the first Scottish ski area to open and the last to close. I’ll leave it for a later blog post for a retrospective on possibly the best snow season in […]

Day 38: 2017/18
Glencoe Mountain Resort This will be a brief one. I’m at day 38 and the terrain is retreating as I type this. The day started grey at Glencoe as I glanced through one open eye across the car park. It looked misty with no sign of the sunny spells implied in the forecast. I didn’t […]
Day 37: 2017/18

I wanted to photograph both, but they would […]
