Bit of pun there in that title for those who know how to pronounce Ohau (Ow-How). Sunday today and a road trip to Ohau was on offer and was taken up. Dave the Sailor hasn’t skied with AJ yet and … Continue reading
Making the most of Friday
Friday was Dave the Sailors birthday – Jesus he is old. Actually he is nearly as old as Jesus. Dave hadn’t skied on his birthday before so we ran the gauntlet of tourists up the Concrete Peak road – best … Continue reading
