Today I headed out to Dava south of Forres for a 15M run route linking up an Old Military Road off the A939 (NH997391) over the Knock of Braemoray along the Dava Way (http://www.davaway.org.uk/index.html) to Bantrach and then back along estate roads, following the River Divie back to Dava. There was snow on the roads from about 200m and the cover was up to a couple of inches at about 400m. Squally snow showers increased the cover during the run and if the thaw isn't too bad tomorrow, and the weather forecast alright, 
conditions could be good for the weekend. With another couple of inches the moorland tracks and disused railway would make great skinny ski-ing. Thigh-deep heather on the Knock was the only downside to a great run in a very desolate and empty landscape. The abandoned cottages and remains of the railway were poignant reminders of what must once have been a very busy glen. Time: 3h 15 Distance: 15M No HR data as I wasn't wearing my 'bra strap'
