I'd avoid the North-East corner of the park, as there are quite a few travelling communities frequenting the area and - through experience - I've found this area to be covered in debris. The South-East corner of the park has the Athletics arena - full track with floodlights which sits adjacent to the golf course. The centre of the park boasts its own 16th century castle, in addition to some amazing wildlife; the park has a resident wild deer population that can be seen early in the morning, along with the elusive red squirrel. :)

The scenery is, as is expected, a spectacular sight: dwarfed by the volcanoes to the east and by the ice palace to the north while the river of broth that splits the first and last holes are splendid. A treat indeed, especially if you wish to dispatch grandad at the merciless talons of the raptors. All in all a treat for some of the family!

Booking is easy. You call their number and might get their answering machine. If you leave a message, they will call you back as soon as they can. There are not many instructors, but the ones that are there are very well educated in shooting and efficient in training others. Clark is the founder of this business and he did a very good job in making this place into a success story that it is today. I must confess that so far he is the best clay pigeon shooting teacher I ever had. Well, as much as newbies go...... All of the activities are outdoors: Clay Pigeon Shooting, Archery and Rifle shooting. The surroundings are absolutely amazing. You might even cross ways with deer and rabbits. Not that they will be the targets. Of course not :-) Even with all the shooting noises going on they stay their grounds and watch you doing your "moves" - if you have some :-) There is an extensive package offered with a lot of variations. For Clay Pigeon Shooting you can start of with 12 clays , 25 clays or if you can manage and are a real professional maybe 50-75 clays. Prices are pretty reasonable. I also understood that you are welcome to this range to practice any of your shooting skills or even join the shooting club Clark had founded. The clubhouse is small, but cozy. I will be back and maybe you will manage one day too? :-)

Tried to go snowboarding in the New Years holidays.. and ended up sat in the car most of the…read moreafternoon.. Made pretty good time on the drive over from Edinburgh.. but ended up sat in a queue after two cars got stuck as the roads hadn't been gritted and cleared completely... With the road being quite narrow and not cleared a lot on either side, it wasn't really an option to give up the wait and turn around... Once we eventually made it to the top, the weather was starting to close in, an executive decision was made to throw in the towel and just head home again... but ended up sitting in the car in yet another massive queue to get back down the mountain as they closed the road on both sides to try and clear and grit the road.. In NZ, most ski hills have 'chain up' areas where you can opt to pull over and hire chains for any 2 wheel drives which might struggle to get up the hill, if the road conditions are bad, they can make it mandatory for any non-4x4s to chain up, if you decide not to, there are car parks nearer the bottom to park, then the mountain runs a shuttle service to get you up and down. Glenshee could do with something along these lines, as there was a LOT of frustrated people sat in their cars that day.

Today I had a great time at Glenshee's ski resort. While my friend enjoyed a great lesson by Fresh…read moreTracks at the ski school this morning, I enjoyed exploring the slopes on the side of the road with the main lodge, cafe and ticket booth. We had some blustery weather combined with driving sleet, making it wet and also making visibility a bit tough on that side in the morning. That side also felt very constrained within a small area of lifts, and the queues were cold and could be frustrating. I had a fantastic afternoon, though, exploring the many additional runs on the other side of the main road. There were even more trails and you could ride to the top of one munroe and then ski down the other side, taking another lift up the next munroe and down to yet another one! It was really fun and I enjoyed it. I've given Glenshee four stars because I had a really fun day there and really enjoyed their trails. However, I am used to East Coast American skiing and, as this was my first forray into Scottish skiing, I was a bit shocked by the outdated, tiny lodge and the really old lifts. I'm used to large, efficient chair lifts that seat two or three, but at Glenshee only two chair lifts were open and I spent much of my day on what felt like ancient 'pomas'. The equipment/infrastructure of the ski resort is more of a two-star from that repect, but then again I've given more stars because a) I think most Scottish slopes are like that and b) I liked their trails and had a really good time. Plus, the scenery of the Cairngorms was beautiful!
