What a difference a day makes!

Blizzard condtions on the hill today, I walked up this evening!
The snow drifts are about 3 feet thick and are solid with wet heavy snow. Not good for driving through but if I had big tyres on I could have make it.

Spring has sprung



What a cracking view from the top of the site yesterday. Most of the farmers locally have finished the spring sowing now in what must be nearly a record short time. They will be hoping for the same weather for lambing and calving which starts about now.

With snow forecast tonight it might be a very different picture I post tomorrow.

I have been busy elsewhere for the past few weeks hence the lack of blogs but I'll get back to it now. Lots of members using the site, mainly the new boys who have joined since february.

Just had to put a new engine in our main training Land Rover, ouch!! Especially just at our year end! All the best, W.

Club visit



We had Tay 4x4 Club visiting on Sunday, 15 vehicles out plus our own club guys.

Great day for it and lots of fun had, annoyingly my camera was playing up and I did not manage to get any really good photos but you can see one of them gathering in the car park.

We also had Garry from Ayrshire using his voucher which we donated to a help the Heroes auction last year.

Club Visiting

I hope we are going to get some snow soon, I have not had a chance to play in it all winter. Except briefly on skis!!
Tay 4x4 Club are coming to visit our site on Sunday next 29th January from about 10am.
The site is fantastic at the moment with mud everywhere and it's very wet, really good fun just now.
all the best, Walter

Hogmonay

Three new members this week, Bert,


Roy and Lewis, in the picture joined by Ryan. They picked a brilliant time to join the site is as wet and muddy as ever.


Lewis and his Disco survived this ducking with only a very wet interior.

Happy new year to all, Wattie.

Typical December day

Wow the site is fantastic at the moment, frost coming out of the ground with rain on top making it super slippery!! The ice is about 3 inches thick on the water splashes so we must have had a more serious frost than we realised.
Pic is of our club members in the east section today about to attempt the hill. It was very good to see the Jenkins boys back after a bit of a break, they picked a really good day.
Two new members joined today, Ryan from Freuchie and Abao from Glasgow with Disco and Jeep respectively.
Hopefully I will get the pressure hose sorted this week and I'm also needing a new battery for my white Land Rover which does a lot of recovery winching which seems to have worn it out. And me!!
