    A great opportunity to look at what is involved in winter stuff. The old saying “No such thing as winter walking and winter climbing, only winter mountaineering” references the extra skill sets around navigation, avalanche awareness, equipment and techniques such as self-arrest which can be critical in the winter mountains. Excellent chance to talk through stuff before getting out this winter.

    Half a dozen folks are now heading to the Lakes tomorrow (Saturday). This will be a non-technical day’s walking. (The Edges are reported to have only a sprinkling of snow and will not be in proper winter condition, but may be verglassed). So we are thinking of one of the circuits easily reached from the Penrith end : EG Hartsop / John Bells Banner /Kirkstone/ Scandale Pass . or St Sunday/Fairfield /Hartsop above Howe … or Braithwaite / Grisedale Pike / Crag Hill
    Anyone else interested please shout up.

    I am going to stroke some large holds gently with my semi-functioning hand, on a rope held tightly by Angela and Steve. As they say at Accrington Stanley, “Ecce Resurgam”
