Thanks. Hoping for a snowless trot at the weekend but it looks like there could be some still about in that area?

Great Dodd and Clough Head had a few patches of snow on them this morning and these were melting. Unless weather changes dramatically I expect they'll be gone by the weekend

Couldn't really say (top 500' or so was in the clag so I didn't get much of a view across) - I suspect the Dodds will be very similar to Blencathra. Improving forecast all week now - could all be gone by Saturday.

Thanks both, that's good news! Not often I pray for rain!

Slightly off topic (by about 250 miles), this link was posted on UKC http://www.aperturefirst.org/index.php?showimage=1093

It's a stunning 360 degree panorama from the summit of Stob Coire Nan Lochan above Glencoe. Not surprisingly it's still rather wintery looking.

Lots of snow above c1500-2000ft in the Ogwen Valley over the weekend :cool:

Lords Rake is still full of snow, was up there today...no new footprints there either, fell or crampons so guessing not many have been this way on recent recce's or rounds?? Not sure I fancy it to be honest, you can get further down to the foot of the gulley than you could 3 weeks or so ago but this stuff will be here for a while yet I think.
