Hi Andrew, sorry for the slow reply, I've only just found this. The weasels were on the path that runs through the wood which is between the little sub-station thing and the summit. I've been through there loads of times before and not seen them. I've seen lots of stoats, but these were my first weasels - noticeably smaller and without the black tips to their tails.
Whereabouts did you see the weasels and about what time?
