Yuk Went round 2nd half early this morning. Icy wind, rain, then sleet then snow. Soaked through & frozen within first 1/2 hour. Conditions underfoot were pretty crap too.

Managed all of it ok except racing line to Crowden clough where i somehow dropped back onto the path. Sideways sleet & frozen fingers meant couldn't be bothered with the compass & was so sure I was heading in the right direction Anyone know if the racing line is still a viable option with all the snow? Was really hoping to have a good look at this section but had lost the will to live at this point.

Just back from scrummy pub lunch & feeling much better about this mornings efforts now
