Up early this morning to Poolburn hoping the ice had improved. The whole dam was covered in ice with a light dusting of snow on top preventing much new ice forming. The only skate-able place was the small bay. Hard bumpy ice. Care had to be taken as it was hard to tell where the thin ice started. Next was Coalpit Dam and an unexpected great skate on refrozen snow ice. Hard to leave. Visited a possible new spot on the edge of the forest and had a small skate there but being later in the day the ice was weakening. Finished the day with a skate in Rushcutters corner on the Lower Manorburn. Lovely thick black ice and a good skate despite the debris and refrozen broken ice.
Coalpit could be great tomorrow with a frost. Idaburn was near a skate - maybe a big frost might do it.
