Hi all,
Just back from a truly fantastic holiday in great weather up north. Drove up north in our campervan last Friday 22nd. Saw my first snow around Gloucester. Got to Leeds and my daughter's street had just been ploughed. Quite icy but OK driving downhill. Huge drifts in the Dales that weekend with most of the snow aroyund the stone walls. Then spent some time in the Lakes - awesome. Four days of walking in deep snow with 2 metre drifts above 300 metres. Did not go above 650 metres though because of severe wind chill (-8C and 30-40 knots) and did not have the right kit for those conditions. Nearly came unstuck on Fleetwith Pike though in Buttermere, went up the steep side and lost the path due to deep snow, quite dangerous really as there were steep drops over crags and cornices, but hey I survived and had a great time. Back now in snowless Dartmoor, but notice that I had an ice day whilst away - stupendous weather for March, and it looks like continuing! :-) A happy easter bunny, Will -- http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...antage_Pro.htm Will Hand (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) --------------------------------------------- |
