Now, when can I fit a trip to the hills in???

There must be enough snow up there by now as it is beginning to settle/stick/pitch her on the beach.

it was looking promising inland of the kite (bird) place on the a44 al. should be pretty good by now, think we're heading up 2moro if you want to join us??


justal - 28-2-2006 at 11:10

Maybe... I'll see what my wednesday 'clients' have in store for me and get back to you!!

i'm flexible al, we'll be going in the morning to catch the best of it so whenever really. its lashing it down here at the moment, and sticking too.

hoping to go to usual spot on the A44 2moro, didnt have much success today - it was a bit of an unplanned trip - went into town and noticed snow on the hills so headed out about half 2.

most of our house have the day off 2moro except 1 who finishes at 11, he might come and meet us there rather than have us hang around though, not sure yet. i'll let you know whats going on when i know myself!


justal - 28-2-2006 at 21:46

OK.... I'll get up early and see if I can find my snowboard... I think it is in the shed!!

Al.


snarl6 - 28-2-2006 at 22:19

Nice one, Justal have u2u you my mobile, its looking good so far !


justal - 1-3-2006 at 05:21

Not quite as much as I was expecting... The skies have been clear since about 3am and there has been quite a bit of melting already.

Should be OK in the hills though so I shall wait until it is light and see what things look like then.

justal - 1-3-2006 at 07:40

Cloudy again now and there has just been another heavy snow shower... There must be plenty in the hills, so I shall have a coffee, find my snowboard and then head off to higher ground.

I'll give you a call after 8am Snarl.

Al.


rob - 1-3-2006 at 10:13

shem - 1-3-2006 at 12:33

justal - 1-3-2006 at 16:25

Al.


snarl6 - 1-3-2006 at 17:42

Nice chaps lot a fun a few tumbles but worth it, ache tommorow. prayin for another blizzard..


rob - 1-3-2006 at 20:12

its looking good for 2moro!! just seen the forecast, another 10cm on the hills apparently!


snarl6 - 1-3-2006 at 20:39

I meant to type nice one chaps! not that your not nice chaps , maybe see you tommorow


justal - 1-3-2006 at 20:56

Yep, it's snowing quite heavily here again and the ground is once again white.... Should be loads in the hills then... What time you heading up there Rob? Are you heading out to the hills again Carl... I'm gonna get the maps out now and see if I can find anywhere else that looks good.

All jobs for tomorrow have been cancelled!

Al.


justal - 1-3-2006 at 20:57

Actually, I might use Google Earth as it so cool and it'll be nice to actually 'use' it rather than just pfaff around looking at places I already know!

Al.


rob - 1-3-2006 at 22:15

i'm thinking of getting out early so that i can be back for an afternoon in the lab from 2-2.30 onwards. i'd be up for going back to the same place 2moro, it will be absolutely stonking up there with another 10cm on what was already there!!

as for a time, say 10?? let me know where you decide to go. if there is somewhere high and suitable nearer we'll go there, but i don't want to trek too far cos my car is running on fumes and i can't afford to put too much petrol in at the mo!!


rob - 1-3-2006 at 22:16

of course being back on time would depend on energy levels and "piste" conditions!!


justal - 2-3-2006 at 06:23

10iah at the same place sounds good to me. There are other places closer, but nowhere that will be quite a sgood I don't think.

Al.


rob - 2-3-2006 at 09:12

i think it is going to be B E A utiful judging by the fresh snow thats around in town!!

absolutely stoked!!


justal - 2-3-2006 at 09:27

I'm heading off now.... See you in the hills.

Al.


rob - 2-3-2006 at 09:37
