Nothing low down here, so had to go and get some!

Not a lot of people know there's a ski tow in the lakes, hardly surprising, when its an over an hours walk from the nearest road!

Perfect temp mate. Come on up Andy, the water is waiting for you :lol: :wink:

 

Might bring the wetsuit then! The water/air temps in the lake are probably about 5*C/1*C at the minute, up at Durness that time, it was more like 14*C/5*C. Much warmer :lol:

Oh, no work you say? GET IN!!!

 

Up to the top of the Pike again, quite a struggle in places with powder ranging from one foot, to waist deep! Only had the camera phone on me though, so it all looks a bit blue. Need a PS tweeker ;)

Blimey, back again! It's not the cold depths of 2010, but actual number of snow days quite high. Glad I stayed an extra hour at work last night so I didn't have to go down this morning :surrender:

The old GP is still doing well on the Dunlop 3D winters, although 18,000 hard miles has just about finished them off now. I swapped the fronts to the back for this winter, but they are just about on the limit of acceptability now, so I expect they'll be binned in the spring.
