Tay 4x4 Club visit

We had about 25 vehicles out today, sunday.
Conditions were very tough in the wet heavy snow but everyone had fun and we had lots of smiling faces.
March starts tomorrow, spring is coming! So maybe the snow will disappear?
Come back soon,
Walter

Snow again

More snow on the site again today but not serious enough to affect our training or vouchers, but it did drift badly across the access road again!
The Ambulance Service have started training on site again and we are this week putting in a few new tracks as well as clearing access to areas that have become unusable. Pic shows Andrew Swan from next door making a new track in the north west corner of the 4x4 hill.
We have also clared and levelled an area for Clay Shooting in the south west corner, and please do not drive over this area as we are preparing it for grass seed. We have also put in a few telegraph posts as anchor points for self recovery and winching in selected spots on the hill.
Finally Tay 4x4 Club are coming to play this sunday 28th feb, thats it. See you all soon, Walter.

Photos update

I have been asked to say that absolutely NO assistance from the big John Deere tractor was need while these two were on site!!!

The site access road is still closed due to ice so please phone if you are coming up for advice on an alternative route.

Not much change in the weather!!

There is still a lot of deep snow on site. Now that it has slightly thawed after drifting it is really solid and very slippery where it is not deep.
It looks like we will still be closed for vouchers this weekend due to conditions.
I am getting fed up with this now!!!!

Very cold

I wish you all a very Happy New Year.
This picture is taken at the back door at the farmhouse today. We are still closed for vouchers and it looks like we will be closed all next week if the weather forecast is correct. (I hope not!)
In the Clubhouse the water has frozen for the loo so please do NOT use the loo. Alan next door has a small weather station which recorded minus 16 one night last week.
Conditions will be fantastic when the thaw eventually comes and all this snow melts, I will try and keep you posted on it.

Christmas snow

We have snow from 14 to 20 inches deep on the hill and minus 5 at the farm house today. The site is impossible for driving on and we are closed for gift vouchers due to the conditions. Worst snow and frost for a very long time.

The first picture shows a frozen solid mouse I found on my walk this morning, it was stuck in a footprint from yesterday. Spare a thought for the wildlife in these conditions!!!
Second pic gives you a view of my black labrador Wren in Pitmedden Forest, which is stunningly beautiful at the moment, and shows just how much snow we have here.

Snow and Frost.

Conditions on site are severe and we have now been closed for gift vouchers for ten days since the snow arrived. The site is impossible and the access road very difficult.
A few Club members have been on the hill but with the water frozen solid and hard frost under the snow driving has been very limited.
If you have a voucher and are booked in for this week please call us to rearrange.
Happy New Year when it comes, another decade!!!!!
