scotia,
What happened to arv?

scotia, For sale or rent?
If for rent you need to gen in quick now before the Uni gets back. If it is to buy then there are some good deals to be had in Hyndland. Many were over priced and now that folk are getting more realistic there is a lot competing for sale at the same price. I'm not an estate agent, just a keen property watcher. Are you from Glasgow? If not then here is a good tip when you find somethnig you want to go for. Go to the local taxi rank and ask if they generally work an area. Then ask them if there are any dodgy folk in the street. Bung them £10..... it will be the best £10 you ever spend.
Cheers
Bob

Anyone have any thoughts on whether the reported (two weeks ago) 200m patch over the back at Cairngorm will be much diminished since the report?
We're thinking of a spot of hiking and sliding this weekend....

It's broken in to two patches (along the obviously thin line in the photos that were put up from late July). Cas Headwall saw turns earlier this week as well!

Future development plans are also in the pipeline. CML is looking at proposals that will improve the winter operation but allow us to get a year-round return on the investment that is made. With the success of the past winter we are a position to progress with a feasibility study on redevelopment of the lower Ciste area. The scope of the project would include: refurbishing and extending the lower Ciste chairlift, installation of a maintenance access track along the length of the lower Ciste chair and the installation of a novice mountain biking route and zip wire in this area, construct a mountain bike features park at the bottom of the lower Ciste and construct an energy efficient new reception building on the existing Ciste site to accommodate the proposed activities. The project is underway and we hope to have indicative project costs together with drawings and detailed trail design by the end of this year with a view to submitting a detailed planning application in the early part of 2011. The timescale on a project of this nature is a moveable feast and is indicative only.

Ricklovesthepowder, there is definitely a dusting on top - like light icing sugar... and probably lasted as long too!

Even down here in lowly Warrington we've had what looks like frost on the roofs this morning and the heating has given a few bursts to get us going.
At the moment Mrs A is over in France walking the Tour du Mont Thabor and reports that she was repelled in her second attempt on the summit by snow and high winds.
Let's hope these are early signs of another good winter.

Brilliant news and hopefully this means it won't be that long until we see a reinvigorated operation on the Ciste side of the mountain. Well done to Colin and others at CML for listening to those campaiging for the Ciste chairs and vindication for all those who have argued for this over the last few years, even when CML were still desperately clinging to the tatters of the core lifts policy ... something that will now hopefully be quietly buried!
Hurray, hopefully it's an early sign of another good season to come

I knew I should have waited......
