In my sun-addled state last Saturday I forgot to look over from SP summit to check what Lord's Rake was looking like ... still full of snow the previous weekend, but surely last weekend's weather must have precipitated a melt? Any updates appreciated.
Just wondering if anyone has been out on the fells today? Is there snow and if so how much??
I went round Kentmere this morning Gaz, very little snow, just odd patches, lot of ice on the water courses but otherwise lovely running.
Out on the Langdales today - everything frozen, but hardly any snow.
Patchy stuff on Bowfell, but there looked to be a fair covering on Helvellyn above about 2700'.
Went up greenside mines, sticks pass over hellvelyn and back down via grisedale tarn. There is actually more snow at low level, to the east, than on the tops. Big H has snow over it with cornices forming, but mostly runnable. The dodgiest bit was coming down from grisedale tarn where the path is notoriously wet and hence patches of ice were in abundance, most of which were covered in a layer of snow so were a bit tricky.
Small amount of fresh snow overnight on Wansfell - above about 1,000ft I would guess. Much less windy than yesterday, raining on and off but not heavily.
Good bit of freezing overnight, the tops look great, so on with the Microspikes then!
