Agreed, they're beaut's. Love the glowing tent shot. Nice find Rich, I'll bookmark that site.

Thats a definite no snow then

Theres a little dusting forecast for this week and a couple of inches due on saturday. I think its best for us to get up when the weather finally throws us a bone

Oh well, the wait continues for a (short) while longer.

Are you getting up anyway there KP? If it was on my doorstep, I'd be there.

Any jobs going in Banchory?

Well, I think if there will be a bigger gathering in the next month or so, I'll save my weekend pass till then!

Reckon I'll take the wife and kids up to Linn of Quoich for a wee walk instead- should be enough to keep me same I think.

As for jobs in Banchory...depends on what you do eh?! Lol

Its last chance saloon for this year. Theres signs of a strong northerly setting in from after the end of next week according to the model watchers. The met office are still sticking to warmer, windier conditions though.

Heres hoping for a stoppage time goal

Managed a spot of hammocking at -7 on the weekend, without tarp or underquilt. No exactly a record, but still not bad at all..

Good effort Harvestman Be careful though, its strangely addictive and you'll end up driving the length of the country to break your own record.

Get a provisional pass out for the last weekend too mate

The last weekend is probably more likely mate, I'll get chance to sweet talk her into giving me a pass while we're up at Comrie

Woohoo! Gales for the weekend and semi heatwave forecast for this week. Talk about jinxing the weather


Its well and truly over for this winter and its time to think about digging out the head net .

This year has been a blatant slap in the face reminder that weather forecasting for our beloved blighty is trickier than herding cats. The Met office and netweather have been the most accurate this year IMO, with exacta weather telling me exactly what I wanted to hear but being as wrong as could be.

We did get the coldest temp ever recorded here last week, it probably got down to -17 where I was bivvying. When I got home, the phone lines had broken and I'm still off the phone with slug speed broadband.

I'm now praying that theres going to be some cold in Norway for the survival course.

Oh well. 2013 attempt anyone?

My hammock set up is up for sale but so far no interest... Looks like a good excuse to keep it!!!

 

[The Big Lebowski]

All being well, I shall have my kit packed and ready to beat -9.

We drove 30 miles last year to be 3 degrees warmer than it was at my woods/front door. Doh!

Good work Rich!

This site makes good reading, I like the way the author shows all his sources. Hes bviously a cold lover but honest about the fact that its just an educated guess.
