Ah, the attack of the mysterious pointless star-rater.

Be careful out there:

Seriously, you have to get going up north more :lol:

When Glenshee bought them everything very nearly went t1ts up. In fact it did. Only opening for the weekends was probably the only thing that kept Glencoe ticking over but then again I don't profess to know the ins and outs of it.

If there were bunks or overnight accommodation at the base I would happily stay overnight to save me driving home and a bar to keep me up for a wee while :lol:

Thanks for that Ally, that's what I was getting at :-) Us kidz are just too fast :wink:

I don't know, ours are pretty cheap Binatone ones?! They are seriously good. Maybe we lucked out.

It has not been losing money at all, just looking for someone to invest and take it forward. Too many people care to let Glencoe go.

The fact it is on one of the busiest roads up North and is the closest ski hill to most of the population (think Glasgow) means it could potentially be a very profitable all year round business.

They have started constructing a bike track already and ideally a multi stage lift would be constructed from the base to provide better all year round access and walking trails up top.

The views from the top are breathtaking.

Can use walkie talkies, have done, good idea if your daughter is happy with it. Cheap ones do the job. I would keep putting your daughter in lessons, (lessons or not) she will improve now at a much faster rate than you and you are just going to end up having her wait for you longer! Your alternative is to go an extra skiing holiday a year over what she has in an attempt to keep up :wink:
