I wouldn't worry too much. Admin is very busy designing a flag for Scandinavia at the moment....and needs to do some shopping for Icy's impending birthday. :D
Is that what Adders is up to?
Did wonder - he has been quiet.
Thought it was because Ally, Nelly, Lizzie etc etc were behaving themselves so far this year.
Apologies to all those I have forgotten who like to thik of themselves as rebels ......
Andy - maybe we should get this thread back on track a bit more, in case Admin finishes picking Icy's birthday present and designing a flag for Scandinavia, and decides to wade in with his axe :lol:
I thought I'd look up Yllas on the resort description section on here, because Dan55 is going there and I'd never heard of it before. This is some of what it says:
Skiing in Ylläs
Ylläs - Finnish Ski Resort (255m to 718m)
Pronounced 'U-las', this is the largest downhill and cross-country ski centre in Finland with the greatest uplift per hour. The resort also boasts the country's greatest vertical, most runs and longest run ( 3km ). Many of the higher slopes are above the tree-line, which is unusual for Finnish skiing. The slopes are 4km from the resort, although you can nearly ski all the way back and in any case there is a free ski bus link. The sun does not rise in winter until late January, when temperatures can be as low as -15ºC although there is adequate daylight, Children get free rental equipment and lift tickets so long as they wear a helmet when skiing.
It's just as well Dan55 is going in February, because otherwise he'd be ski-ing in the dark during the daytime :shock:
