White Christmas!!!!!


Conditions are impossible at the moment, five inches of snow on frozen ground!!! The second picture shows how difficult it is on even the smallest slope as this is as far as I got on my annual Christmas tree hunt.
First pic is of the view looking north from the top of Biens Law
and shows the big pond, now called Loch Tarkie!! The ice on the pond must be about six inches thick and if you look carefully you can see Roe Deer tracks crossing it.
A very Merry Christmas to everyone, ho ho ho Walter

Sunday 13th December


Thanks to everyone for a great day last Sunday. Particularily to Bob and Andy for looking after their respective Clubs on site. Conditions were very slippery on frozen ground and a lot of ice in the water but we had lots of smiling faces all day!
I hear there was an accident on the road in Gateside village afterwards? I hope nobody was injured and no vehicles to badly damaged?
2 pictures of views; East to Loch Leven and South to the Howe of Fife

SLROC Sunday 29th Nov


We had about twenty vehicles on site last Sunday with our Club and the visiting Scottish Land Rover Owners Club. Ground conditions were fantastic with lots of sliding around in the mud.
Videos are on you tube if you enter as your search "Glentarkie"
The water around the big pond is seriously deep, at least two feet above normal level after all the rain. Take care!!
The clubhouse area has now been moved around to suit us better now that we have sold the land adjacent to the parking area. Please excuse us for the current mess but this will all be clared and a new surface put in before christmas.

November Club Safari

We had a very good safari today with lots of members. The ground conditions made it really difficult but very interesting!
Thanks to everyone, I had a great time especially watching the big descent in the wood and all the winching after it. More photos on the website shortly.

The Scottish Ambulance Service started a training program today on our site for their new resourse vehicle and also Land Rover driving. They will be good fun to watch and the new vehicle is very capable.
Plenty of rain at last and the Scottish Mud Club who are coming this Saturday 7th will have lots of fun and the water is VERY deep.
I lost a hedge bill blade on site doing the bushes last week, please just leave it in reception if you find it. Hopefully not finding it through your tyre!!!!!!!
