No skiing in France this March for us. A trip in the camper van to Loch Morlich was the late winter destination choice. Heavy snow on the way north closed the road and forced a welcomed overnighter in Blair Atholl. The Cairngorms looked magnificent, capped in snow and reflecting on the loch as we pitched up for 5 nights. Great skiing next day. No queues, fast downhill on the M1 and sunshine. Good food in the restaurant. Had we somehow or other been chairlifted to the Alps? No. The next day warm winds came in to create a rapid thaw. Still, with the sun shining and the mountain bikes off the van the many trails and hikes of the area were discovered. A full moon made the area quite surreal during the calm of the night. Did we miss the annual ski trip? Yes and no. Jake our dog loved his winter break though!
