Bea: Sod the grammar!

It's not your primary language?

You describe yourself well and contribute on the site just as good. Don't change!

I gained the lowest grade possible in French O level.🤔

Bea: You could go sick for a day.....just don't post photos on FB or here!

Keep dreaming....but leave those Nokian winter tyres on.

Scotland was the place to be when we were both up in separate groups last weekend.
I left axe and crampons in the car yesterday...was OK for me going up Doddick and down Blease, but I wouldn't have made it up Gategill with microspikes in my bag!
Kate and I did that route early February and with a little snow and ice on the final ascent, we both had a boot slip a couple of times!
Nobody had been over the top cornice there, for a few days. 🤔

TrotOn: David it looks like the snow may linger a few days more in the lakes,and Helvellyn looks to have a good covering,just seen a photo on Lake district weatherline.

Helvellyn40: Paul, yes, I gained confidence last weekend and enjoyed it all.
Nipped to Threlkeld early. Weather better over west. Northern fells almost clear at the start and totally clear when I was on top. Good choice as Helvellyn was in cloud. Plenty of soft snow on the ridge.

TrotOn: David it looks like your hooked on snowy mountains now after your winter skills course.
Looks like you where lucky with the weather rain most of the day here.

M3: Thanks, Kip is fine and now soundly asleep at home in her bed. She loves being on the mountains 🙂
