Thanks for that PG. We were actually over there yesterday (Peebles, not the actual ski centre). Perhaps I should have taken my boots and gloves...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Long time since I lived in the Borders. Where is this place ? Any good ?
And does Hillend still exist on the Braid Hills on the edge of Edinburgh ? At one time I think that claimed to be the longest artificial run in Europe. But that was late 60s............ student days. Sighs ........
I skied it once when there was a smidgeon of real snow filling the gaps in the honeycomb. It was pretty fast then. Otherwise, it was pretty slow and a source of many a staved thumb. But long enough to link a few turns together.

Hillend is still there- Uni Snowsports club goes there most weeks when theres no real snow (99% of the time)
Bless the oldies - perhaps Ise could pop along?

Hillend has been renamed as the Midlothian Ski Centre, so it is still the source of the medical condition still known as "Hillend thumb", not renamed
