Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Sadly there isn't any way of checking conditions other than just going
@mountainaddict
! Yes it was on The Cheviot itself. It was on the eastern-most flank (the one with a quad-track up if you've got OS Maps). Can send you a screenshot and some photos if you want (no clue how to upload to here). This is roughly the area:

I'd been out for a run on The Cheviot on Sunday when it was clear and was suprised to see the amount of snow there so needed to head back up with planks attached
It took me about a hour and a half to walk in from Langleeford, and took the same on the way back out as its pretty slow going through the bogs. The good coverage of snow is only on the North-West facing aspects so you have to walk all the way, but once there you can skin back up. You could probably park up in the College Valley and cycle up to Goldscleugh if you want less of a walk. It was definitely a bit of a mission and I wouldn't get your hopes up too much, but I did have a lot of fun

Thanks a lot

. I've got the OS Maps App, so can suss it out from that
We're very easily pleased on the hiking/skiing front - not averse to driving 250 - 300 miles to ski tour on snow patches in the Highlands in May/June, so can't rule out a future run up to the Cheviots!
