Eildons in the snow (B)

For the first walk of 2010, we finally managed to break out of our snow-covered driveway and down to Melrose for a hike around the Eildon Hills. Or rather, over the Eildon Hills.





The snow was deep on the slopes up the steep side of Mid Hill, but the views from the top were absolutely spectacular, even in a biting cold wind and well-below zero temperatures. Coming down the other side was half falling, half sliding, but a lot easier than going up!
