I’m definitely in the ‘a damn close run thing’ gang, in my early years of fell running, doing a High Peak Marathon recce around the always god foresaken Howden Edge and Bleaklow and getting caught out in the mother of all snow storms. Ian Winterburn, Emmilou and Southernsoftie of this forum (once in a time) were with me and others and we managed to lose the Pennine Way after Bleaklow under three feet of snow 😊

I had frost nip in my toes for a few months after and it’s safe to say I’m a bit more careful of kit I carry because of it. And more liable to take the long view, it’s better to fight on another day, than roll the dice and think myself invincible
