Dyers pass road now closed on the hills .... so not much point if anyone is thinking of coming out for a look.

TonyT · Unread post by **TonyT** » Sat 05/07/2008 14:49

Still sleety here - alternating between mostly rain and mostly flakes. Cloud cleared briefly enough to see a thick layer on the top of the Teviot hills just north of here, I would say down to about 150m.
