The Northern cories in outstanding winter condition.

Mountain bike up and down the ski road. Covid-19 restrictions and lots of drifted snow gives BIG Brother all the excuses they need to prevent access! Even although its tax payers cash that built the road and their dodgy funicular. Less said the better!!!!

 Been guiding and climbing locally, with local people.. so  all within the recommended Covid-19 guidance, please keep safe- there is light at the end of the tunnel!
