    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 !!

    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
