Snow Nerding: December 2010
http://snownerding.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 7 December 2010. North of Revelstoke they're plowing a logging road that gives you access to some superb terrain. There's not many people there, partly because you have to walk a little ways to get in there and partly because not too many people know about it. Did I mention that the cold temperature kept the snow really light and fluffy (and made my eyebrows frosty! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Actual link to actual updates.

Snow Nerding: Scotland
http://snownerding.blogspot.com/2010/09/scotland.html
Wednesday, 1 September 2010. I've been extremely lucky. After battling headwinds up through Carlisle and into Glasgow, the weather has turned fine, the wind has dropped and the vistas have become spectacular. I just happened to go past one of my favourite breweries: Loch Fyne Ales. I might have bought one (or five! Which was dutifully dispatched. Mmmm, Avalanche Ale. 2 September 2010 at 20:25. Mmm beer, have one for me! Love reading about your adventure and I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

Snow Nerding: October 2010
http://snownerding.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 October 2010. First Turns of the Season. Early season on McCrae Peak: slip-sliding up a sketchy logging road; slippery roots on the uptrack; flat light on the pocket glacier; first run rusty but the magic's still there; second time around cloud clears and the mountains open up; fun turns in creamy pow; scratchy descent back to the car. Keener people than us had got there first and the light was in and out, but great nonetheless. Watching out for rocks on the second pitch. There's a little bit ...

Snow Nerding: August 2010
http://snownerding.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 August 2010. Everyone knows that penny farthings were named in reference to the size of two British coins: the large front wheel being the penny, and the small back wheel being the farthing (worth a quarter of a penny). Not everyone knows that enthusiasts sporting waxed mustaches still ride these beasts round the British countryside. Here are two fine examples, outside the First House in Scotland in Gretna. The North of England. Mmmm, chicken pie. Check out the bedroom where I slept! No items ...

Snow Nerding: Cape Wrath
http://snownerding.blogspot.com/2010/10/cape-wrath.html
Thursday, 7 October 2010. Sorry for the delay in this post but better late than never. The trip out to Cape Wrath in the NW of Scotland marked the end of a three week bike trip that I did to say au revoir to Britain and it's fine inhabitants before going back to live in Canada. I also raised some money for Orchid Cancer. To get to Cape Wrath, you first need to take a ferry. Yes, there it is, in all it's splendid magnificence. They only let you on the ferry if you're wearing a kilt.
