flytilbroke Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Monikie Ducks canceled the splash-in they had planned, frozen water. So, I went to our Sunday site instead. You wil all be pleased to know that the Sky was a briliant blue with just a few fluffy white bits over the mountain tops. After a cold start off came the hat and gloves, hooray, the Sun has some heat to spare at last. A sparkling good day indeed with my "Panic". Ps, the skiers and snow boarders were keeping "Nevis Range" active, we could see them from our flying site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Freeman Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Posted by enrico on 21/02/2010 16:20:05:Been up the coast today and allmost got snowed in! ,but found a range of sanddunes that you could allmost fall off bothsides. Wind forcast tomorrow is east so if im not snowed in will give it a go. Enrico, there was some fair old snow showers this afternoon. Must have been a bit dodgy getting down that track!!! Did you think i was kidding you on about the snow??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, was good fun and a decent chat on a bright but chilly afternoon. Missing was one Ken Anderson.

flytilbroke Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Met Office. Really bad weather for most of Scotland North of Glasgow/Edinbugh. Getting white outside and is to keep snowing till tommorrow noght with heavy drifting in places. I would bet that the Ski Centres bosses and staff are rubbing thier hands with gleefull expressions on thier faces. The slopes have been solid white for weeks now and this will add more time to thier season. Reduces my flying tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Elliott Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Only because most people are looking for an excuse for a day off!!! Using the H and S as a reason. I wish they would grow up. Lets not stop because of the lame excuse for weather some of us are having. Hey in summer we will have ONE day of sun and there will be mayhem. HOTTEST SUMMER FOR 3days!!!! i can just see the headlines. Oh well could be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Ramsay Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Joined the other Loonies wading through 15cm of snow to reach the strips. Cammy 'Dibnah' Lang flew his Weston Cougar fitted with skis.
