Just ran from the top dam, up Cutgate and along to Swains head. Awful..

Top few inches slush, then an inch of frozen terrain then bog, so you were constantly slushing through cold big but occassionally falling through the ice into the bog. Felling fat and hung over didn't help, even one of the collies was refusing to follow in places. i'll put some pics on the blog later.

Path quite obvious in the light, but peters out in places, as long as you concentrate it should be OK to follow, as long as you are careful crossing groughs.

Should have recced before I entered...:-)
