I reckon this might be alright, depending on how much it costs to get up there from London. Anyone else?

From London I’d be going to the alps.

Lots of snow, but your biggest enemy will be the uncertainty of the weather. You could leave london while the sun is shining in the Cairngorms/NW, and by the time you arrive it’s blowing 80mph in a whiteout.

Surely for the cost, you’re just as easy getting to the alps as geoff has pointed out (quicker too!). I’m always surprised to hear southern english accents at Glencoe/Glenshee/Cairngorm, simply because it’s such a gamble and not insignificant cost/time/effort.

This, every time

hmmm.

your second biggest enemy will be weekend queues too. think it’s half term too?

Sleeper to aviemore
Luton to Inverness airport
500 miles each way driving

If you can get cheap sleeper births it can be a goer.

Friend drove up on Sunday ,stopped at the Spittal to get skis,came back out ,then waited in a queue for 50 mins,gave up and went home.
Both carparks and sides of the road were rammed and halfwits people were blocking the resort area as they looked for a space . This is at 9.00Am 😯
