    This sounds like a very good idea, and also inexpensive. It is not always possible (or always fair) to interrupt a planned mountain day with too much instruction. But it’s not wise to be “upstairs” in winter unless you have practical experience of things like self-arrest, crampon work, axe technique, snowpack assessment, and erosion/deposition patterns. So learning your ‘Green Cross Code” so handily in the Lakes is an attractive plan.

    I remain under medical instructions not to stress the tissue in my hand, so I’ll just put in an appearance at the Knavesmire later to show off the straightness of my fingers

    I’d just like to encourage those who did not make the Traverse to get together and watch carefully in case the weather forecast for 1st or 2nd December is suitable.
    Our trip on 11th November went very well. We had excellent clear sometimes starry weather (moonrise was too late for us). A route up Mousthwaite Comb, over the FB and up Glenderamackin river and Foule Crag made an easy way to the summit and the round trip was 3 hr 15 min including star-gazing time and watching all the twinkly lights below.
    Caroline pointed out that the next full moon is a Cold Moon and a Super Moon, so go for it if the conditions are fine !!
