Dave and I headed to Poolburn today to see if any ice lasted the weeks wild weather. All of the ice from last Sunday had gone but there was a pack of snow ice left in the little bay. We made the best of it with a bit of skating and snow kiting despite the limited area. Ice was bumpy and ok with hockey skates but better with nordic skates. Ice pack was fairly hard but being snow ice you had the take care - this sort of ice doesn't give much warning of danger - especially as it thaws. I headed off after midday and Dave stayed on to go exploring around the back of the reservoir. A fun time and a good place to be on a winters day. Track is now open all the way but muddy in the thaw.
