DNC Glen Dye Results 18/2/13
After a slight pause (frustrating for some but very handy for those of us away on holiday who thought we were going to miss the fun) for snow last week, we got to scamper round some of the lumpiest bits of Glen Dye. Ali’s signature style of Middle Distance flavour control picking proved very popular and certainly made the forest seemContinue reading “DNC Glen Dye Results 18/2/13”
