Where are we? |
Scottish winter trips, Dave and I had a debate about a Spring trip to the Alps instead of Scotland. the distances were about the same, the times (once over the channel) were about the same. The big difference was that the weather was more certain, and we believed we could get more snow and ice.
This year would be the reconnaissance and discovery stage. The summer trip last year had scouted what we believed to be a suitable location. We had reserved a number of nights in the bunk house at Kandersteg. There was plenty of things we could do while we were there, in all types of weather. We had several cars of people who were happy to try it out.
Staying at the bunk house, would be interesting as it was not set up for "self catering", but they did rather expect you to eat at the bar ... we would mainly be cooking but the back door, but nothing was ruled out about visiting the bar after eating!!!
Discovery and recognition would be the key words this trip. A mix of skiing, walking , and ice climbing.
