    I intend to get to Harrogate this evening but I cannot say any time for travel because I have a hospital appointment late in the afternoon and I am not certain when that will finish.

    OK I will be at the Knavesmire at 4.40.
    Sally, I only have Steve to collect tonight (slightly unusually) so there is room for 3 in the back of my car if you wish to get collected from the Knavesmire also

    I am leaving Heworth at 4.20 to pick up Steve in Acomb.
    I could come round by the Knavesmire pub and pick you up there at 4.40

    The current forecast is quite good:
    A few wintry showers in west, otherwise dry and bright with strong northwest winds. Freezing level at around 600m.
    So to improve a bit on previous arrival times at Gable Summit, I’ve checked the distance from Honister Pass as 3.8km, and the height gain as 670 metres.
    That might be 65 minutes for the distance (conservatively) and 67 for the contour lines, so a departure from Honister by 8.30 is indicated.

    As mentioned under Moonlight Traverse, many of us may be in the Lakes overnight anyway. Anyone coming up Sunday morning will need an early start to RV at Honister

    Looks like Saturday night could be a runner. !!
    The forecast is for high pressure moving in, and there will be a cold NW wind with occasional snow showers. The brief synopsis from Lakes Weatherline is at the end of this post.

    Steve G and I are considering getting started around 6pm which should see us in bed well before midnight and up again for Great Gable on Sunday morning. Details to be finalised. Obviously we will only have a half moon but if there is a light snow cover upstairs, and some moonlight, then as they say:
    “You can’t always get what you want
    But if you try sometimes
    you might find
    You get what you need”
