Up to Poolburn and met Dave for a dawn skate. We skated around the back of the main island avoiding the open water and eventually into the tale of the lake. There was a huge area of black ice then snow-covered ice at the very end leading up to the streams. A satisfying skate. I skated back first and met up with Inge and Jane then headed off for another trip around the island. We ended up with a busy afternoon when others showed up. Good to see people making the most of the ice before the snow comes. About 7 hours skating for me all up (Dave longer). Unusual to see mist blown up from the valley below and across the ice. Poolburn - always changing.....
Snow is due over the next two days so not sure what will happen to the ice.
