Calling Aberfeldy weather
 

Come in Aberfeldy Weather!

Brian, could I please ask you for some weather reports from Camserney?
I'm going to Pubil late Friday night, and it looks like it's at very
least going to be cold, perhaps snowy. I'd really appreciate your
condition reports as it effect what way I'll try to get there. I've
already learned my lesson about trying to get across a track 500m up
when it's snowing. In a Micra.

Cheers,

Douglas

Hi Douglas

I was in Glen Lyon on Monday, walking around the Bridge of Balgie area.
There was plenty snow around even down at the valley floor (patchy) and from
350 m and above full cover. There had been a 2-3 inch fall early Sat
morning. The road was lined with snow from the plough.

The snow has melted somewhat today (gone now from my garden) as the
mountains have black patches and I expect there is no snow now below 300 m.

I doubt that the pass will be achievable, however, unless you have a Land
Rover.

Looks like snow showers for Saturday but you will be fine getting up. The
Oyster Catchers have come back to the valley today, same day as last year
and the wild primroses are out.

Should be a great weekend to be in Scotland's forgotten glen!

Currently sunny with light, medium level, broken cloud here and just shy of
8 C at 13:45. Little wind.

I was at Pubil a couple of weeks ago.. While appreciating the easy
access, I was distinctly disturbed at the fact that I could drive over
from Glen Lochay at the end of January :-)

Looks like normal service has resumed.

Too right about it being a lovely weekend in Glen Lyon... Enjoy!

Cheers chaps! I have to say i'm desperate to get up to Pubil, I haven't
been there since December, when there wasn't a hint of snow. When
Scotland had a snowfall in January, I was sweating in Bombay, so I feel
i've missed this winter.

The hill road from Glen Lochay to Glen Lyon is always tempting as it
cuts the journey, but it can go bad rather quickly. And as it's a Yaris
I'm driving and not a Landie I feel that giving it a miss is probably
the best bet. It's to be cold on Friday night, and if there is any snow
left up there at all it will be treacherous. Same for the Ben Lawers
road. It's a better road, but it's not gritted and it goes up over
550m. I think to play it safe I'll head down Loch Tay to Fearnan and
cut over to Glen Lyon.

I've been receiving weather forecasts from my friend who gets them in
SEPA, and it's looking good. Cold at the very least, but I must confess
I'll be watching like a hawk for snow.

I still have a daydream of having to phone work on Monday to tell them
I am stuck....
