Since my first outing in the Borders meeting a few of you splendid guys at Bridgend last year, driving past Bodsbeck left me with a sense of awe & a hunger that has been gestating ever since.
After camping at the KingsHouse in Glencoe on Saturday night, I was standing around on Sunday morning with a slight hangover, drinking coffee, minding my own business, when some bright spark suggested that since it was forecast to be too windy at White Corries, Skye would be a good choice.
Why not?, I thought, so about 10 people headed off up the road.
I was working away from home this week. Then a message came through on the group. It might be on at Glencoe at the weekend.
Well the plan was good, but as always the weather decided to change things a little, when Gerry, Jamie and myself rocked up at Dungavel. After a short walk up Dungavel we found in the light met wind that was around the thermals were tracking across the hill so a quick chat and we re-located to Tinto. Having got got ourselves up to launch we starting seeing some positive and some negative signs for the day. Positive being nice cumulus forms out in front, the negative was high cirrus was threating to move in and shut it all down.
