Report from Ed Waite, Dave Patchett and Ryan Hellyer.
Excellent ice across entire dam. Between 60 and 90 mm of cold hard black ice. Water level is much higher than last couple of freezes so were able to traverse some previously non existent bays. Excellent ice quality on some of the streams flowing into the dam, providing some good downhill skating opportunities.
Heading to lower manorburn now. Also intending have a night skate on poolburn before camping above the dam.
Wow! Looks really really good…
Would it be possible to make a skating track with your GPS and post it somewhere? Much fun to see from Holland where you skate, during our summer!!
Kind regards,

We didn’t do a gps track, but we can draw our exact path on a map for you.
Great to hear you are following our progress over there in holland.
Here’s a crude map of where we went … http://ryanhellyer.pressabl.com/files/2011/07/poolburn-route.jpg
It’s not exactly high tech š But it hopefully will give you an idea of where exactly we went.
