A quick jaunt up the Wee Buachaille involving sunshine, wind, snow and rain.
Summer holiday by car to the little Medieval village of Barjac near the Ardeche Gorge, returning via Paris. Lovely hot weather in the south of France with lots of swimming in rivers to keep us cool. A holiday enjoyed with a backdrop of the World Cup in Russia and the growing excitement in France as they eased their way to the final during our stay.

The story of the East Lothian haar on 28th May 2018, in pictures. If you want to know more, Google "Advection Fog". Or come and learn to fly a microlight at East of Scotland Microlights and we'll teach you all about this, and lots, lots more!!
Terrific club flyout to hot and sunny Bagby airfield in Yorkshire allowing a few more recently qualified pilots to get some experience of what it's all about - with great flying and airmanship displayed by all of them throughout.
Midterm skiing in Chatel/Portes du Soleil. Horrendous blizzards to start with followed by two and a half days of sunny weather and huge quantities of perfect snow. James is skiing well and it's "proper" skiing for me now, just to keep up!
Traditional Christmas hillwalk with Douglas. An atrocious mountain forecast meant chosing a tiddler but we found excellent light and views between the clouds at car level and the clouds at the summit - a day that hugely exceeded expectations.
Honeymoon trip to Glen Shiel and Speyside dodging as best we could, Hurricane ex-Ophelia. 3 bike days, 4 hill days, 1 big waterfall, 4 new Munros and 5 soakings!! But we loved it all!!
A night and day away on Bute for a bar supper and an explore, by bus, of Rothesay and Mount Stuart.
Rented a motorhome and went to Orkney.
A fun club fly-out weekend to Gigha. Well done to Colin and Sharon, Bill, Fraser and Isaac - all microlight touring virgins no more.
On the way home from Tallard after doing my instructor revalidation, we had a day to explore Marseille.
At last - a day off and a good weather forecast, in the west at least, coinciding. We left the cold, windy, murky east coast behind for warm, balmy and calm Mull and Gigha - a different world! Less than 24 hours later we landed back to the still freezing cold east. Brrrr...
Mid-term skiing in the sun with James at Saint Gervais and Les Contamines.
Wonderful skiing again with Gordon and Jill in Saint Gervais, Les Contamines and Megeve.
