Fell-top conditions
FELLTOP CONDITIONS REPORT from Helvellyn at 1.00pm on Thursday 17th December 2009.Fresh snow has fallen at all levels although it is rapidly thawing below 400m. Above 400m the snow depth increases with height to reach 5cm in drifts. Especially above 600m, paths and rocks are covered in verglas (thin ice). Frequently this ice is covered by a thin layer of snow making the going difficult even on well established paths such as those climbing Helvellyn from Thirlmere. Full winter clothing, footwear and equipment are essential for anyone venturing out onto the fells. For those going above the snow line and attempting steep routes or traversing steep ground an ice axe is strongly recommended and crampons should be carried in case the fresh snow gets deeper and freezes. Currently, no winter climbs are in condition and attempting them will result in environmental damage to sensitive upland vegetation. Summit statistics today (these are taken when the Fell Top Assessor is on the summit, they do not represent max/min figures for the past 24 hours). Temperature, minus 4.6C. Wind chill, minus 14.7C. Max wind speed, 30.1 mph. Average wind speed, 22.4 mph.
:cool: literally
Right this is me signing off, see you all at the Moot Hall on Saturday. Travelling from Herts tomorrow AM and snow is hacking down here, could be a long day on the roads. The original idea was a long run tomorrow in the lakes, but judging by that forecast I may have to tone it down a bit.
Can the first one to the lakes make a start on the Snowman :D
All being well I should be in Keswick by early afternoon tomorrow - was planning on going on the motorbike but that's looking rather inadvisable now! Hopefully going to go up Skiddaw if feeling energetic, Bleaberry Fell if less so, and might see the Abba-ers in the George later on.
See you all soon :D
I'll be in Keswick by lunchtime tomorrow. The plan is to meet up with Merrylegs early afternoon for a trot up Causey Pike, be at the Moot Hall at 8 bells to see Swiss Toni on his way then into the George to meet the ABBA crew (although I won't be ABBA-ing myself :D ).
Bet I don't sleep tonight :D
I am starting to feel really sorry for myself :(:(:(
I had so been looking forward to this weekend :(
Might be 2 o'clock ish before i get there depending on the weather, towing a tin tent up, i'll pack my headtorch as well:eek:;)Quote:
