    Fresh snow esp on Bleaklow and snowwing when we walked off...

    Out again late last night, there was a hard frost with a lovely clear sky and hardly any wind. let's hope it keeps up for the next couple of nights

    The latest Met Office forecast looks rather unpleasant.
    Hopefully MWIS this afternoon will be better...

    Metcheck isn't too bad.

    Which forecast do you look at on the Metoffice

    Met check for Kinder:

    Metcheck is always wrong - but I hope this is the exception that proves the rule

    Much better. OK, that's the one I'm going to believe

    At the moment it looks like we are lucky with worse weather due later on Saturday and Sunday. Seems as close to perfect as there can be, I suppose Ideally all frozen but that's hard on the joints.

    Good to see you are finally making it Iain, Have you got Rob and Sarah in your team?

    It was very cold last night with a quite frost but the sun has been out today, I suspect there will be a thin surface crust but not enough to support anyones weight. certainly not mine

    Probably frozen enough to make you think it's solid, until you put your full weight onto it
