We've never tried flying 'cos we take too much stuff with us - snowboards, boots, sledges and the like.<BR/><BR/>Alternatively drive up on Friday night and stop en route at a cheap B&B or Travelodge in the Borders as we sometimes do. The nice thing about a Travelodge is that they'll let you in if you turn up at gone midnight. There's one at Burton services on the A6, or the Days Inn at Abington gives you a nice view of the West Coast mainline trains in the morning.Labanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031578024191117985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-84373920300429530092009-02-07T22:22:00.000+00:002009-02-07T22:22:00.000+00:00That, is a brilliant idea.

There were people snowboarding and sledging down the sides of the mountains off the Merthyr-Brecon road.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to check that out. Flights to Dundee or Aberdeen and hire a car from there I guess.<BR/><BR/>I'm nearish to you UK-wise Laban, but wouldn't fancy driving all the way.<BR/><BR/>Any ideas on getting there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-12857343444514370122009-02-07T19:48:00.000+00:002009-02-07T19:48:00.000+00:00Be fair.

Snow in the Highlands in winter would stay for weeks if not months.<BR/><BR/>When we went about 4 years back to Scotland it was the first time my kids had ever built a snowman, something we did every winter in the early 60s. It was this week before they were able to build one in their own back garden.Labanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031578024191117985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-40781406782436037902009-02-07T18:35:00.000+00:002009-02-07T18:35:00.000+00:00Climate change - a terrible business, if this glob...Climate change - a terrible business, if this globalwarming gets any worse Im going to have the central heating up.
