X-country skiing 1:00:00 [3]
Before, during and after the ski O.
Conditions changed big time overnight and snow was much much trickier to ski today with a nasty icy crust. 36 skiers and 1 snowshoer went round the forest and all seemed to have fun.

X-country skiing 1:15:00 [3]
Hanging controls for ski O. Out for a good deal longer in total. Lots of branches down in the woods messing up our lovely tracks. Still good skiing though and tracks speeding up a bit.
3 PM
X-country skiing 30:00 [3]
Managed to drag E out and skiied out by the main track and back by the traverse, which E handled fine. Then did another quick loop up to the top of the hill.

X-country skiing 1:35:00 [3]
No new snow so tracks are improving, although a lot fell off the trees yesterday. Excellent loop round various tracks, then skiied over to DAP with J and E for lunch - very civilised. Got back from there in 16' by the main track and traverse. Yee ha ;-}}}

X-country skiing 1:10:00 [3]
Another 20cm of snow buried the tracks again. Hard work, but I think we went over them all again between us. Just unbelievable out there now. Glad we got to the shops yesterday.
2 PM
X-country skiing 45:00 [2]
Managed to drag E round one of the big track loops filled in again even since this morning !
10 PM
Stretching 15:00 [1]
Lots of aches on my right side today - knee, bum, hips. Combination of skiing and last nights O. Feels better after stretching.

Round the woods again.Tracks just keep disappearing under more snow - going to have to keep skiing ;-}
12 PM
X-country skiing 30:00 [1]
Finally escaped from the woods - had to get to the shops to replace the olives and sun-dried tomatoes ;-] Roads are still pretty rubbish - don't think schools will be back 'til next week ;-{
Ventured up to Cambus - forestry vehicles had been in yesterday and compacted the main track. Did a couple of short loops slowly with E and J. Nice - but not really any better than our woods.

Orienteering 59:00 [4]
Night O at Raemoir. Can't believe DK went ahead with this, but there were 27 people daft enough to turn up. Missed no 3 but otherwise a trench run through thigh deep snow. Tough going, especially after too many hours on skis. Fun though, and beer and chips after were good ;-]

X-country skiing 1:30:00 [3]
Snow just keeps on getting better and better (and deeper and deeper).
So... a plan is forming for a Ski O at Dess at the weekend - probably Sunday. Biggest problem is likely to be skiing the tracks enough to keep them made with all the fresh snow that keeps falling.
Details to follow....

X-country skiing 1:20:00 [2]
Bright morning with only a small amount of new snow overnight. Did a couple of laps of the power line loype and messing around on the downhill etc. with E. Time is a guestimate as I never had my watch on.
Snowing steadily again now. Haven't tried to get the cars out since Sat. Had decided to take the week off anyway before I lose my leave allowance.

X-country skiing 40:00 [2]
Best run yet on the power line loype - fresh snow gave a bit of grip on the climbs, but gliding nicely on the descents. Also reinstated the remainder of the dung heap loype. Was quite easy as snow pack has consolidated in the last couple of days. I think conditions are even better than last winter now ;-}
