    Weather forecast for tomorrows Cutthroat to Snake recce...

    Met office

    Blizzards? No risk
    Heavy snow? Low risk
    Storm force winds? No risk
    Gales? Medium risk
    Persistent and extensive hill fog? High risk
    Thunderstorms? No risk
    Heavy persistent rain? High risk

    A possible epic is on the cards

    No Possible about it. It was an ........

    EPIC By any standards.

    I've not seen condition so bad in the peak before. Bleaklow was frightening

    I'll leave it up to the others to describe and to post the odd pic.

    However if this helps Last week i did it in 3.20. today around 7.30!!!!! Not from the Lack of effort i can tell you

    I'm wrecked.

    Thanks To Clair for leaving the landy at SS it would have been along trudge in the snow Down the Snake with out it.

    Made a bit of a Nav error near the end, I'll Stick to M&C in future

    That's quite scary if you thought it was that bad We were out on Snake Top last night and were struggling to stay on the Pennine Way due to it being buried, but we didn't do the hard bit...

    I know what you mean you can never be quite sure even when certain of navigation that your not going to drop down a ruddy great hole as all the lands features are gone. Cn be very unsettling even for the most experienced runners.
