Day 7: 2017/18
Glencoe Mountain resort Sunday was #WorldSnowDay so I thought I should stay another day. I’d taken Monday as a holiday from work, so was in no rush to go home. The morning at Glencoe was grey and windy. More snow was on the way and I had some concern that it would have been easier […]
