Guys, we have to go here...

[northwind]

Just went xscape at Braehead, just south of Glasgow today... What a place, it's like a playpark for grownups. 10-pin bowling, a high climbing wall, cinema, crazy golf, football things, shops, food, bars- lots of bars... but the absolute winner- indoor ski slope! Maybe I'm out of date but I'd never seen anything like it, they've got a huge refrigerated room with a proper snow skislope.

200 metre slope, plus a kiddies/training slope, plus they hire out all the gear. The also do sledging, but cruelly that seems to just be for kids

Anyway, sounds daft but we didn't do half of the good stuff today and it was still fantastic... Some bits were closed, or not yet open, but it's still got enough stuff to keep people going for a day. Anyone else fancy it? It's like going on holiday to the alps, without the breaking the leg on day one and wasting the rest of your holidays in a foreign hospital...

hell yeah! sounds good m8

I'd be up for xscape one day Andy, mainly for the skiing. Have to be in the new year now though.

Mad for it.

Your mission should you wish to accept is......










organise it!

********, should've realised this would happen OK, provisionally some time in late Feb, try and make it late afternoon-meal-evening if the open hours stay as they are? Skiing not compulsory There's so much to do, that it'd make sense to limit it a wee bit, otherwise we'll all be there basically by ourselves

What do you reckon?

Andy, with your track record for damaging yourself should you really be skiing in a confined space, no trees to hit but walls smart too...

I'm into it though, Kirsteen wants to come along too...

She can go pillion I'll not be skiing, very bad idea when your leg's held on with string and glue, ut I might have a wee crack (so to speak) on a board. Lets be honest here, I could dismember myself playing the crazy golf, so no point in avoiding the dangerous stuff

Of Course it would share and share alike. Just remember that I have set that very high standard for Ecosse get togethers!

I'm sure you'll be great @ it if you need help give me a nudge and I'll give you a hand I normally have some time in the office to surf and phone around. I normally do it under a work guise - i've been asked to look into .......
