The air has been cold, dry and unstable this has given outstanding conditions, climb rates have been incredible, sometimes off the clock. The group is having a ball, everyone is working together and reaping the benefit. We don't bother looking at the forecast anymore we take what we get , so far it has been fantastic, but we know this might change in a heartbeat, so we have plans for entertainment! (ed: it could be a photo competition)
The cooperation from all the Portmoak staff is incredible they really go the extra mile to make us welcome, as I write this we are getting ready to sit down to gammon steaks whilst watching a beautiful sunset, it's doesn't get much better than this. We look forward to tomorrow will it be as good ?? - MC
