Your always welcome Steve, I'll get you in the loop for the next one
Glad your home ok Rich.
No probs car wise for me.
I overtook Stephen who was stuck behind a 5 mph driver and not too pleased
Lol, he's normally the one speeding off when we leave.
I had my window down having a ciggy when a Freelander came tanking past and fill my lap with brown slush
He'll be right enough in his Quattro
Aye t'was a good un

Making memories since '67
Looks great. I have been on the islands a couple of times when it has snowed but never very deep. I was tempted to go a paddle on Castle Semple to day in the snow but was busy and I am not even sure if it is frozen or not.
Yet another great looking trip, thanks for the pics.
Waking up to fresh snow in camp is something special, Id have been like a kid in a sweet shop-I love the stuff. : )

Great pics of another great weekend, cheers guys, a bit touch and go whether we were getting out on Sunday, the East side of the island was wild, but the West up the narrows was calm, took us less than an hour to get back across to the shore. Thanks for the lift back to get my car Rich.
And yes if I had not one but two numptys in new cars in front of me who should have stayed at home, took me over 3 hours to get home, I went thru Glasgow, once past the Erskine bridge the roads were fine, just the queues. The office is 3/4 empty this morning tho

Aye up mate, looks like you had a good one too
Yup you're right about Gaz, last man standing or rather last man seated (with melting boots)
The trip back was okay, it was rough as a badgers up the east side of the island but the northern end and up the narrows was lovely and calm. A bit gusty now and then but nice gentle swells to ride over

The best bit of the weekend was waking up at 06:30 on Sunday morning, toasty in my hammock and hearing the faint pitter patter of the snow flakes against the tarp and then a sudden whoosh as a build up slid down the silnylon. It was still dark too with no wind and everything was silent but lit up by the white of the snow. There must have been a good four inches already and it was all waiting for me to crunch through . Looking out from the hammock to the water about ten yards away was mint too, watching the snow flakes actually building up to a sludge on top of the water.
