It will be gone by friday, if the tempeture doesn't get at it the wind sure will :roll:

The wind is actually good, my local hills (Glencoe and Nevis Range) actually catch all the wind blown snow which means plenty depth for late season skiing-even in bad years-and fresh tracks all day ;)

March 6th, Glencoe





If you are clever with a computer you can look at my Flickr account through those links and check the dates that they were uploaded!

I am used to Wickham putting Scotland down but I understand it for two reasons. The first being that he is stuck 8 miles south of Norwich and the second being that his only ever Scottish skiing experience was at the Lecht.

A lot cheaper than the ski racing gloves you can buy.

I never knew they sold clothes. :shock:

Hi Eljay,
Lidl have specials each week.
A few months ago they did ski gear - it's ok.
They do sailing stuff sometimes, including wetsuits, motorbike gear and also they've recently been doing fishing gear as well.

I don't think it's stuff that lasts for years, but for for occasional use or for someone trying a new sport, you can't go wrong.
You'd have to hide the B square logo on the ski helmet tho!!!!
(actually I tried one on and it was a no go - totally odd shape - less it's my head )

Really like them.
:-)

I have four pairs of those. They are so well fitted that I sometimes wear them under jeans, which would normally be uncomfortable with fleece. I really lucked out and bought four pairs at T J Max four years ago for $15 a pair :D
