Holiday Time

Pablo Escobar wrote:Yeh, came back home to be fed and recover from last night. Back on the horse Tuesday for a potential night in St. Andrews followed by a 21st on Friday. A few classes next week but just trying up loose ends and some exam prep.

Shame I had to hand in on Friday (not digital submission), the skiing in Cairngorms looked epic :(

Well done, my man. You will soon be demob happy!
Yes Cairngorm seems to be shining. Much depends on the temp, there is certainly enough moisture! I want to do some Scottish skiing this year, mainly because my Euro skiing will not be enough.

St Andrews, eh, now that is not too far from chez Mac.

Glenshee just seemed to get rained on :roll:

If you are going skiing in Scotland I would be more than happy to show you around :-D

Yeh, got a couple of friends at Uni through there!

Pablo! I first skiied on Cairngorm before you were born! Karl Fuchs was the head honcho! What do you want to know?

Actually, while all of the above is true, it is just about that long ago since I skiied on Cairngorm, it may have changed!
There was a story that Karl lined up al his instructors, and said "Follow me". Then he schussed the White Lady!

That was meant to be a face like this: :twisted: :lol:

I figured you may know your way around. I have never skied Cairngorms with the Coe being only an hour away and Nevis Range being an hour and a half!

Yeah, I am much the same, hour and a half to Glenshee, with Cairngorm two and a half hours.

But whereas I have, in the past, mostly given away Scottish skiing, (only since I have lived in Scotland!), I now want to do more, particularly in the areas where I have not done, Glencoe, the Lecht, and to renew with Cairngorm.

When I was with Trans Pennine Ski Club, (late sixties), we travelled from Manchester every Friday to Cairngorm, 13 hours then!"

Probably do a trip to Fort Bill sometime in Feb & visit Nevis Range. Cut my teeth up there, brrrrrrr.
