In reply to rnotman67:
Broken Cleugh/Mirk Side is a funny one... Did it years ago in perfect conditions, with lots of ice and great snow, but been back 3 times since (and drove past yesterday) and there's hardly anything there - not even water sometimes! It's as though the water source has dried up/been diverted. Shame, as it's a cracking wee adventure when in good condition.
Firthope Falls at the top of the Carrifran Burn is the best winter route in the area in my opinion (given that the Grey Mare's Tail comes into condition so rarely!) - gorge approach, hidden from view, lots of short pitches, easy escapes, chance of falling in a plunge pool...!
Cheers,
Gordon
