Pentlands Haute Route from Nile Mile Burn to Flotterstone via Cap Law, West and East Kip, Scald Law, Carnethy Hill and Turnhouse Hill.

Good vis. Wind up to 40mph. Below freezing all day.

The knee deep powder is very limited now. A good foot of snow at road level (see barrels outside Flotterstone Pub). Good base in some places and not in others. Best run on North side of Carnethy Hill. No one to be seen for first three hours becoming more populated at Northern end. Time 5 hrs.

Pentlands: Dreghorn to Allermuir. Parked beside Shell garage at Dreghorn as car park inaccessible due to deep snow.

Overcast with some light snow. Severe wind on summit of Allermuir.

Hardpack to knee deep powder. Good overall cover with occassional patch of grass showing on wind blown sections.

Edinburgh: From my flat in Leith around Holyrood Park and back. The hard packed pavements were a joy to slide along! Some quite interesting wee gully lines were being skied off Arthurs Seat, and almost all steep skiable areas were tracked out! Only had to remove skis to cross roads or where folks had dug out the pavement!

Snow Showers

Powder and hard packed on pavements.

Macmerry->Winton - Night Tour From The Door

Start Macmerry, head through the park and out South West of village on bridleway past the riding school. Turn back East into Winton Estate in the wood. Followed forest trail up to the top of hill as far as the Hobbit Lodge. Back
same way then turn East and up the hill to West Bank farm. Back down the hill into the village.

Heavy snow showers -3. Put down another inch whilst I was out. How good is this cold spell?

Good snow. Got above freezing during the day in the sun so paths are fast. Plenty of cover in the wood.
