Well I live about 10 miles from Stretton, and whilst today’s forecast says 5 dogs the (lots of )white stuff on ground doesn’t agree.
Nowt wrong with strange in my experience

Can say that again. I can only imagine the pain
Not until we got 2 more writeups/eligible entrants remember... no pressure (on you and your little one)... do remind him that the prize is pretty flexible which might wet his appetite
Max. altitude of 1345 m is a kind suggestion. I'll go to La Brévine once I'm back home. That's not Alpine (it's in the Jura) not is it 1345 m (round about 1000 m) and the coldest place/village in Switzerland. Lowest is -41.8 °C and it regularly goes below - 30 °C.MuddyPete wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 2:24 amHow about..."maximum altitude 1345m"? https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8& ... vis+height
I'm quite tickled at the thought of the high altitude members of this parish going to extreme efforts to do something very ordinary .
It's wonderfully incongruous .
Feel free to throw out them there tricks please kind sir.. it might help manyAlpinum wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 1:59 pmMax. altitude of 1345 m is a kind suggestion.

I find it fair to keep it to the UK... even a 2 h fatbike ride from my home (in the Emmental) will give regular chances to nights down to -20 °C, this at about 900 m.a.s.l. and at home every so often very well below -10 °C.
Good luck to all involved - an inspiring challenge and an idea I've been following every single winter for the last ca. 20 years. There are some tricks, so inform yourself well if you want to win
A dry cold sink, or one with a small body of water is best - Loch Morlich (being big and having had 6 months to 'warm up') will likely keep the air from cooling down too much in it's vicinity and may not be that helpful. Yet, you're right in general considering inversion and temperature difference on hills.ScotRoutes wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 8:31 pm You can also "nudge" the ambient temperature a few degrees depending on your pitch. I'm planning a night out tomorrow and hope to be on a small hill where it should be a couple of degrees warmer than the floor of the Strath due to the river and temperature inversion. Alternatively I could head up to Glenmore and camp by Loch Morlich where it'll be acting as a cold sink, reducing the air temperature locally by a couple of degrees.
