Glencoe, Sunday 16th February 2014
6:30 start from Glasgow to head up to Coe, the going was slow with a few idiot drivers on the A82 as usual and a few road works. Spent about 40 minutes in the queue once there for my ticket and the car park was full again. Turns out it was a school holiday. The […]

Visibility in the morning was non existent but the whole mountain unveiled itself around 2:00. This meant we could go everywhere and anywhere, and the snow was some of the best non-powder I’ve […]
