Spring is / is not in the air !

2 03 2009

OK so its been a while !

A few reasons for the lack of updates are work and play have taken up a bit of time.

I was up at Dunolly Adventures running their staff raft guide training.

It felt so wrong to be donning a dry suit in February !

That combined with the snow rapidly disappearing and people saying how they are glad spring is here.

I personally am still not done with winter  and a heavy dump of fresh snow would seriously make me happy right now.

The air was warmish in the sun but the river was pretty full of snow-melt !

Despite having my IR powerstretch fleece romper suit on, it was still a bit nippy in the water.

Because of work denying weekend hill time we have been getting out at night during the week as PTC has been reporting.

Last week when we were out the wind had a nip to it and gloves were worn.

I also had one of the new OMM packs on which was a great wee bit of kit.

Sunday was spent at Mugdock taking groups for archery, in the afternoon the showers were wintry and the thought of “yes here comes the snow again ” passed through my mind.

Back on the river next Saturday with a wee hope that Sunday might see a trip to higher ground.

Fingers crossed !
