Turning the corner at Progleg and the words OMG will most certainly come out of even the biggest doubters  The snow at our place in the castle is well above knee deep and we had to take quite a long run up in the trusty Fiat Panda to get off the road and into the carpark:-)

BRING IT ON...... I'll promise to keep you up to date with the conditions now we are here and also whats new around pamps as we drink a few BG beers just for Christmas! Snowboarding Snowman Snowfall Snow

There is a large restaurant up top but nikki and svetlas tavern downstairs is the best place to eat at the castle - normally a few in and a good atmosphere!

We have just got in from there now - a few beers and a pizza always go down well as well as the cornflake chicken with chilli sauce.

Added bonus of ski in and ski out of the bar - or board in and board out in our case! Snowboarding
