    21 januari, Skottland ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    ... got up to the ski run.. around 1000 m... it got so bad.. the wind was near to pushing me over.. I'd been walking into the wind.. the snow was by now blinding me .. hard to see the path ..being on my own.. was time to think safety first.. also.. it had got really cold due to the windchill . I was very cold and wet... definitely getting into hypothermia territory..so time to cut losses.. and turn back... good exercise.. try again tomorrow... ☺️Läs mer

Aviemore Resort Hotel is excellent.. but it's January in Scotland.. this is what you can get...Läs mer
