ccc Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 That's been close to 3 weeks of warm sunny blue skies in Jockland. By the look of the longer term forecast we may have at least another week to go. Wetter I cannot remember the last time sunny Jockland had a month of nice weather. Bring it on. When the weather is like this there are few places on the planet that can match the UK. I took advantage and biked from Callander to Killin and back again this weekend (46 miles return). Superb. Mostly on off road tracks and highly recommended to any cyclists out there. Stunning.

Bossybabe Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I know the old railway station at Lochearnhead is owned by Herts Scouts having spent the wettest two weeks during school summer holidays there one year. Nice part of the country although I doubt Scouts today could do some of the stuff we used to do like abseiling face first on a single rope down a nearby viaduct, Health & Safety would have a field day today with things like that. Strange how much fun it was - endangering our lives at an early age! I vividly remember, aged 15, narrowly missing the edge of a precipice while skiiing at, I think, Glenshee. Bliss! I never felt so ALIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Careful going outside! You may lose your blue tinge! I am positively pink these days !! The classic Jock suntan. Enjoy. It may be the summer. P.S. Ever noticed how most of Callander is owned by the Edinburgh Woollen Mills? Just drove through it so didn't noticed. Rather a lot of posh English about though !

That pic from above is looking down on Lochearnhead. Stunning place. Well when the weather is nice and you can actually see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Sadman Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Converselt midwest USA had its dullest, wettest, near coldest april on record. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-04-27/news/ct-talk-gloomy-april-0428-20110427_1_measurable-rain-nasty-weather-forecast So far this month, the Chicago area has only seen 31 percent of possible sunshine, said Frank Wachowski, a weather observer for the National Weather Service who does work for the Tribune Co.
