Good run over Pendle today!!

Battled through the deep snow and hurricane winds on top! Bit nippy!

Bring on next week

Yup, cheers for that Martin, just the kick up the arse I needed.

Sitrep:
Cankle on left foot, looks like an 80 yr old granny's foot;
Wet patches on my lower trouser legs where they're sticking to my shins after having the flesh stripped from them;
Really sore left heel, feels bruised (I think from where the Walshes rub?);
Ligaments crunching on both ankles - one too may ankle turns on the way back down methinks.

But all well worth it. Beautiful snow formations on the top, icy gales, and a memorable dash/slide down Big End (oo-er, not what it sounds like, honest!)

Bring on this Sunday!

Bloodyhell mate sounds like it took its toll!!

They were pretty grueling conditions though that morning!

What are the roads to Barley like?? I get off J9 I think of the M65 and head over that way. Am I likely to slide down into Barley car park and not be able to get out again??

Any one know?

How deep is the snow Hursty - what route did you do?

I came back from Downham thru Barley on Sunday and 's'all good in da hood.

We did an approximation of Pendle Cloughs route from start to CP4, then back up to the trig as per 1st FTOP climb, then back to Downham following the Pendle Cloughs route back.

Details:

(Note backtrack from trig as we chased after the map which blew out of my hands. Didn't retrieve it: blowing too fast.)

Depth of snow: anything between ankle to waist. On top it's a bit of a slog for heffers like Hursty and me, as we just sink thru the icy crust up to our knees. Happy days!
