Hi Alan, Growwild & PeterS

See what you have started now?

Outrageous those cuckoos, coming over here, making all that noise, taking all our nests . . . send them back to the nests they came from.

Hey Growwild, I have a great collection of Jazz Wise magazines, if you like - but I think you might be disappointed as they are usually within easy reach from the shelves at WHSmith's.

Good night, campers

Hey you lot, keep the noise down! I'm considerably more tired than you. Otherwise, I'll have to take my huff elsewhere.

Sorry, you need to speak up, I've got these ear plugs in.

I said . . .!!!!

That's it! There's only one thing for it! You are all in for a soothing dose of Dave Brubeck's The Girl from Ipamena.

Are you just going to bed or getting up?

It was very kind of the unknown person/s to start moving Winteraddicts's tent away from the party noise last Saturday night. Next time they need to finish the job - take ALL the pegs out and move him well out of the way. Of course without waking him up. ;-)

Fabulous day at Glencoe and didn't need to wander to find snow! So much of it smiling smiley Skins stayed in my rucksack and had a great time enjoying the soft spring bumps that improved as the day went on ,
Best snow I found was on the top west side of the main basin. Perfect crunchy and granular smiling smiley



Boot soles suffering though from wanders across to the Spring run. Used to Cairngorm vegetation winking smiley

November Eric,they've had about 50 days of wandering but I don't think they were made to withstand the jagged igneous rock scree of Glencoe !
