Snow, snowboarding, surf, frozen January 2010
Jan 23rd, 2010 by Stace
So The Big Freeze hit the UK this festive season, which was such a novelty for us! Here’s a BBC satellite image so you can see the extent of the snow and frozen-ness.

So we went snowboarding – twice so far! The first time at Cairn Gorm with Gerrod and Kristy, the second time at Glenshee with my friend Cat’s husband and his mates. Cat was cosied up at home with little Aimee, bump and a hot chocolate. Snowboarding’s too dangerous when you’re up the duff, so she lent me her gear and off I went. And didn’t I find out how dangerous it is! Oh my tailbone. Two weeks later it still hurts when I walk and when I bend over. But it was so cool to be on the slopes doing something with Wes that he loves. He had a fantastic day up on Glas Maol in the afternoon cruising off piste from the black runs, he’s so talented!




And of course the surf is working as well, so Wes has been out in the water too (I’m far too chicken to get wet in this weather – water temp seven degrees).


We’ve also been out walking/geocaching. I’m completely addicted to geocaching now.






Nice photos love, you’re looking like a pro on your board now!
You’re going to overtake us in Geocache finds soon!!
Brrrrrr. There’s a little bit of crazy in winter surfing. It’s great that you can make the most of the cold weather with the snow boarding though!
