Slippy-slidey before we begin

The annual 'in search of snow' hike is this Sunday! It is often one of the best hikes of the year (but only if you are properly kitted out! It is a chance to learn how to use an Ice Axe and crampons ... and get ready for the Scotland Winter Mountain Walking camp

...but only if we find the slippy stuff! 

I thought prospects weren't  looking very good this year but the guys from ssgmg have been finding some snow up in the hills so maybe...


You need to have the right gear (or ask me now to borrow what you need!) but SSGMG give you axes (!) and crampons if we find the right stuff.
Here's the info form - give me a call if you are up for it! I'm going! (need to get to the hills to blow away some of that xmas pud!) (its also a good way to get your DofE fitness checked off if you come regularly (and get fit))

The consent form is in the post linked to in the useful links on the top right (you may need to change the year)

Otherwise, we start back on 17 Jan when the hamsters come out of hibernation. We have to park in the bus park and will meet in the new sports barn at PGL whilst they rebuild our usual car park and give us a basketball park (cheer PGLs!)
