Driving home for New Year....

to misquote Chris Rea.....this is being written on the M74 (not whilst driving I should stress), as Claire and I are on the way back from Scotland. We called in at Aviemore on the way back and the amount of snow not around was remarkable...I was hoping to do an hour or so of cross-country skiing but that was not possible.

The thaw continues apace and has wiped all the snow of the lower slopes of Fionn Bheinn as we drove past this morning; only 5 days after we struggled up it in ankle deep snow...but its forecast to get a lot colder on Sunday when Claire and I are heading out to the hills in Cumbria again....now all we need is lots of snow in Scotland before now and the end of month when we are hoping to head back to the north.
