Our traditional winter camping weekend...
It’s a long way to the West Highlands, even from the Lakes. However, with such a great weather forecast and the recent days of cold weather the conditions looked awesome, so the long drive and not inconsiderable fuel costs was well worth considering. But we wanted to go somewhere new to us – Creag Meagaidh …
Did you know that in the UK you can use your mobile phone's SMS text messaging to summon help from the emergency services?
A couple of last images from Chamonix… It’s always good to remember good times, and the skiing this year in Chamonix and Courmayeur was awesome, really awesome! So much powder!
Today is Cumbria Day, hoorah! And amongst the noise that brings is a mini-celebration that accompanies the Cumbrian flag coming to Westminster…
After days and days of lots and lots of snow, with poor visibility and high winds keeping skiers on the lower slopes, at last the day came when we had sunshine and no wind. It had to be a day for the Vallee Blanche.
Dave sent a text at 7am to say he wasn’t going out today so there would be a spare bus ticket going for Courmayeur.
We used the Lizard-Spock Expansion of the classic rock-paper-scissors game to decide where to go and play in the deepening powder on our birthday celebration day. Well, actually we used the game to decide who got to choose the venue… Laetitia won, and Les Grands Montets was chosen.
