Snowdon snow versus Swedish snow?

Well, Bob Cawte and I have just got back from a trip to Snowdon, trekking up the mountain in prep for Kilimanjaro later this year. It was very snowy! I'm not sure how cold it gets in Sweden but I reckon there's more snow than we'd be happy to deal with in the UK, hence the reason why some fortunates are able to leave the country for a while and let the rest of the natives get on with battling through the snow drifts. I was glad of all my warm gear while we were away but hopefully we won't need any of that in June!


Hard to believe this is theUK

Nowhere near the summit yet!

Highest point in Wales :-)
On a completely separate note, the other day I drove into the car park at my gym and as I was walking away from the car, a man in a high vis jacket came striding towards me. Thinking he was a car park attendant I was ready for an argument as we don't pay in this car park. But I was greeted with the question "Is that a Marlin Berlinetta?". "Yes, well spotted" I replied. We then conducted a 10 minute conversation about how he'd always been interested in kit cars but marriage, family, fuinds etc had always got in the way of becoming an owner. He seemed ready to own one now so I gave him me card and suggested he contact so I could put him onto some people who copuld help him source one. He seemed keen but I haven't heard from him so I guess marriage, funds (the kids are grown up now) etc are still getting in the way. Shame for him but you can't have everything!

  1. Theres no business like snow business and wow what great shots! Made me feel cold just looking at them. Nope I dont think we'll need snow tyres in Sweden but then again ya never know the way this weather goes topsy turvy

    Funny when people come up to you whenout inyour Marlin. A lovely old lady in her 80's sald she had a boyfriend when she was younger who had one. Didnt have the heart to say bits of Cortina and a Sierra lurked beneath and that she was probably 60 years out ha ha
