Getting Warmer for a While

Wednesday, 7 January 2009

Hi Alan,

It is great to see you are up and running for the current season. Just looking at the photos and reading your reports and blogs is always inspirational.
Vicky (my partner) and I were ill over the festive season so we did not get up North but out of sheer frustration we got out last night and found some ice at Fryupdale on the North Yorks Moors. It was not much but it felt good. I have enclosed a photo to show that (very) occasionally winter still stretches down this way. Even the turf was reasonable (ish) which was just as well otherwise I would not have got to this point!

All the best for the year and the season.

Alan Chape

Thanks Alan. Looks cold down south.


Number Two Gully yesterday in very good shape. Today, teams were out on Left Twin and reported okay conditions. The forecast is suggesting a spell of rain and wind in the next few days.
