More Blue sky and loads of people (Sunday)

Last night got cold, down to minus 12.5 per the van thermometer, but we had heating all night so were toasty.  Unlike the silly campers in their tents!  Who would do that as a choice?

Woke up today to beautiful blue sky, and were at the campsite gate by 740am ready to rock.  But the site man hadn't opened it, so we sat for an age (10 minutes) watching everyone else tearing up the mountain.  We got a space in in the top car park in roughly the same position as yesterday, so needn't have worried.  Should explain that the top car park is right next to the resort, but the lower one is about a mile and a bus ride away.

Today I decided I would mostly, in fact totally, avoid all form of drag lift, which meant all day up and down on the train.  And Dave wasn't being such a girl and disappeared of on the t-bars which opened earlier.  It was a great plan until the train broke down, but I stopped for a sausage and egg roll and coffee and by the time I'd done with that the train was back.  Until 2pm when both Dave and I were onboard and it broke while in the base station!!!  All off and dead for an undetermined period.  So we retired to the van to consider options.

My option turned out to be sit in the van and read (sticking to my no drag rule) and Dave dissapeared off for a while to enjoy the gorgeous conditions.

Reunited, we have come to the pub as before and are currently enjoying so local brews and free wifi.  Happy days.  We believe it's going to get a bit snowy tomorrow so aren't totally sure how to play it, but at least we've had 2 days of blinding weather which is far better than those left in Watford etc have been experiencing.
