Day 17 of Scottish season 15/16. Conditions today were a marked contrast to my last visit just a few days ago. Temperatures were high, 14° or so in the carpark with quite a bit of snow loss on the mountain, up to a foot according to the resort. The plateau still has cover, though thinning […]

[vimeo]https://vimeo.com/158379204[/vimeo] Day 16 of Scottish season 15/16. What can I say? The rough cut above does all the talking. I reacted to Glencoe Mountain Resort’s Facebook post the evening before predicting fresh snow and sunshine. I hastily arranged to be there next morning.

White capped hills glistened against […]

Day 4 of Scottish Season 15/16. The annual trip to Aviemore was the plan for this weekend and I decided since the conditions looked borderline I’d take the long route via Glencoe rather than the A9. Snow had been lost since last weekend and conditions were warmer. I took my time and arrived at Glencoe […]

Day 2 of Scottish Season 15/16. Sunday morning lay deep and crisp and even. Unfortunately that was in Glasgow. The roads were actually better though than the previous evening and I did manage to make a slightly earlier start to the day. Sunday promised to be slightly better, and indeed, visibility on the upper part […]
