Huff_n_Puff wrote:Meant to say that when we did these two part of the bypass path looked as it if was about to break off :shock:


Many thanks, I never saw where the bypass started but got an idea where it ended so dropped into some snow and traversed to the ending point. The dogs took a wee bit of encouragement but were fine 8)
Hope the DIY is coming to a near end as you'll be itching to get back out :)

Always touching to remember those who are sadly not with us.


Thanks Martin, it is a fine area where the weather played a part :D

Also, a handy report for me. I’m planning to do these two in a few weeks time. Good to know about the pinnacles and the bypass path.


Your totally correct there Silverhill, he was well chuffed with his day. It's a fine wee day for you, wish you all the best for your hols and hope most of the snow is gone :D
