Not sure if this is the right category

Very keen to get to the lakes some time in the immediate future for BG recce's etc can people in the area/know give any word on the going at the moment.

Only 2 weeks ago it was still a case of breaking fresh snow on the Northern fells, is it the same all over or has a thaw started?

It's a long day out (driving etc) if it's not going to be particularly helpful as a recce because of the conditions.

If people could advise I'd be grateful...hoping to get up there on the 21st for a day out then potentially weekly thereafter.

Thanks

Emma
