Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Morning All We got more snow this morning, Dageus enjoyed playing in it, but my moosh was tripping me all the way through the forest on our walk. I loathe the stuff and get very miserable in it. The roads are very slippy too, but as they are single track they are last on Highland Councils list of roads to grit or use a snow plough on All I can say is thank heavens I have a 4x4 and don't get stuck much.
OK, Moan over. Enjoy your day..

Afternoon Folks,well the ice has all melted when the sun came out and steam was rising from rooftops and ground...Hope the snow melts up Your way soon Roxy..take care.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

A late good morning Lassies..well I set out earlier for a nice long walk in the sunshine only to find My path/pavements/roads are just one big sheet of black ice,I had to hang on to the fence to get back in...broke My collar bone some years ago when I slipped on the treacherous stuff,so wasn't taking any chances today..hopefully it will all have melted by the afternoon so I can get up the hill

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Morning All , Not too bad out now but first thing it was a sheet of ice, was terrified of falling so Dageus is not going for his walk till after lunch. He's sulking on the couch on his blanket at the moment. Throwing black looks at me .. Need to tear the bedroom to bits and find my Ice Grips and get them on my hiking boots. Wonderful things, not very pretty to look at but they keep me upright..

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Well I decided not to go out after all as the pavements are still glistening in the watery sunshine...hope the ice has gone by tomorrow as I aint been anywhere since Wednesday

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Good evening everybody. Out early today to catch the early train, taking no chances I booked a taxi last night. Walked home tonight from the station and it was fine. Roxy hope the snow has all gone. May hope all the ice has gone from your streets.

Morning All Haven't poked my nose out the back door yet but the car's iced over and it looks c,c,cold. Will have to go into town today, not that I want to, it's too busy for me and not easy to get parked. Getting fed up with all the pre Christmas madness, I'll be glad when it's all over and I can return to my peaceful life..

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

It is a long time since I have been in Scotland, stayed in the Rutherglen area of Glasgow camping, then move camp to below the Campsy fells with fresh bracken water stream to drink from. That was way back in my teens and drove my own mini van. While there did John o' Groats up there.
This did surprise me on how flat it was compared to the rugged cliffs of Lands End in Cornwall. Even how close the inner hebrides looked ,I expected they were further away.
Visited Edinburgh and toured including visiting Ben Nevis. The popped over to Skye by boat (car ferry) no bridge back then.
I would love to go back some day but now live in the other end of the country.
See the memory lingers on

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Good morning everybody. Staying home today to finish decorating the tree and some housework. Realspeed I think you would find big changes in Scotland from the last time you visited
