Glentress Trail Conditions - Tue 14th Dec

Currently the conditions at Glentress are:

Lower trails mostly snow free, although snow still remains on higher trails. All trails icy in places, with lower forest roads being very icy.

Here's a few pics from Monday afternoon:

Trailhead - start of road up into forest

Forest road upto Red Squirrel car park. Very icy/slippy - currently closed to vehicles.

Start of wee linking climb before Dougie Bank Climb. Icy in open...

...but much clearer of ice under the trees

Near end of Magic Mushroom

Clearing brash/debris off Magic Mushroom from tree thinning operations. The machine operators have done a great job of protecting the trail - hardly marked. Much more light now through Magic Mushroom and we were able to retain the key trees next to the trail (ones marked with tape). Some more clearing work to be done before we can reopen the trail - keep an eye on the 7stanes trail conditions for updates.

Cheers,
