Biking and Hiking Chapter Two

Fantastic week of hillwalking and tandeming in the Cairngorms, Torridon and Skye, using the motorhome to its full advantage and "following the weather". It just so happens that for the second year running the weather took us the pretty much the best places it possibly could have. We feel very lucky.

The One Show

The BBC's One Show came to do a piece on us as we celebrated 30 years of the flying school. Gordon flew the presenter, Andy Kershaw, and I flew the cameraman alongside for some air to air shots and they joined in and interviewed club members during the evening party. We got some great publicity from the wee film they made about us which aired on prime time evening telly.

There's a video clip of Kim's interview here youtu.be/vOLzhgzncjw The audio can be heard over the wind noise if you listen carefully.

Sunny West Is Best

Two days of leisurely flying with Kim and Richard in glorious sunshine, camping at Glenforsa airfield on Mull, with a late afternoon jolly to Iona. Back the next day via Gigha for a bbq lunch on the beach and a quick drop-in on Strathaven to see that house again!

Roman Around

Informative couple of days exploring the Roman sites along Hadrian's Wall - with James providing much of the background information following his recent school project. Spent a dampish first night at Boe Rigg, Northumberland, visiting incredible Roman fort remains and museums at Chesters, Housesteads and Vindolanda, exploring sections of Hadrian's Wall itself too, where we could find them. Then took a little excursion to the Lakes, to stay at the idyllic riverside Sykes Farm and climb Castle Crag in glorious sunshine.

Les Houches

Wonderful three days' skiing at Les Houches with James. Two days of amazing weather and views - the third day, er, not so. But brilliant to watch his skiing develop quickly - it's all becoming very instinctive now, linking his parallel turns beautifully and any hints of the old snowplough consigned to history. Very proud of him!

Six Ticks

A chance to bag six less than inspiring Glenshee Munros spiced up by having a bit of snow on them, but before the hoards of skiers arrive. Hard work in the powder and a LONG walk!! Just made it back before dark.
