x-c skiing 1:00:00 [4]
XC skiing at Glen Tanar from Braeloine, 20 mins towing Ewan on a sledge and a 40 min loop up the glen and back. Snow really good on tracks - ploughed and well packed so good glide.

x-c skiing 25:00 [4]
Cambus O'May - a lap of the main tracks - good conditions- new snow since last visit and -7C which was perfect for the wax. Lovely skiing, though chilly on downhill whizzes!
x-c skiing 41:00 [4]
2 laps of dungheap loop + extra loope below Walled Garden and towards waterfall (sarah cut new track). 21 and 20 mins. Going well, good conditions - head torch as it was sunset when I set off!

steady run 54:00 [4]
Collecting night-O markers - ran actual course and did just under 54 mins - and that was knowing the control sites (only had to hunt for 2!) and in daylight. Respect to Oleg for his 46.
steady run 6:00 [3]
Collecting reflectors from fence at bottom of ride below house - easy run down, wallow back. Still - last night's participants who created a nice trench in the snow have given us an escape route to the main road!

steady run 1:10:00 [4]
Hanging markers for night-O - snow quite deep in places. Open areas were worst - up to my hips in some places and over my knees for a lot. Forest is much better - esp under spruce trees - one occasion to head for the thick forest!
Managed to grind left shin down something in the snow - didn't hurt until half an hour later when it thawed out!

Note
School shut on first day of term - what a joke - a few inches of snow and the whole of Aberdeenshire schools shut - pathetic. So no chance of getting night-O markers out, have to do it tomorrow.

x-c skiing 35:00 [4]
lap of Cambus tracks - good tracks, but a bit icy in places where too many walkers ;-). Feeling tired - arms particularly.
Had a potter around with Ewan before start - about 20mins of low level.

Note
30 mins snow shovelling to clear lay-by for DNC parking - hope we don't get too much snow between now and Wednesday evening!
