I guess glentress/Innerlithen are a bit snowed under but what about the roads to peebles? any locals info?

cheers

Not sure of anything for definite, but my wife works for borders council and hasn't been to work this week as advised by her boss… apparently police are suggesting anyone in the borders should stay put unless absolutely necessary.

Where are you coming from? I'm in Newcastle and anything other than a very major road is just ice as they are running out of grit. Don't fancy your chances. Trains are running to Edinburgh.

Don't bother!!

The roads are covered in about 2 to 3 inches solid ice left over from what the snow plow couldn't shift.

Latest forecast is for another 6 inches tonight, that's on top of the 10 inches or so already lying.(In Innerleithen anyway!)

****ed. The police say, and I quote, "Only travel if it's life or death"

My folks are near Melrose, and apparently its top of the boot height now – but the roads are passable.

Hmm A group of us were planning to ride GT/Inners on the weekend of the 15th. maybe we shall put it of till the end of the month, we are travelling from the Isle of man so its a bit of a trip.

I'd forget it to be honest, we have a massive amount of snow up here and it isn't going anywhere fast.
