I hope the wind dies down a bit for you Daz. It's blowing a hoolie here now. It was much the same on 2011 when I did the Cumbrian Traverse, & I had to keep off the Coniston ridge, contouring along & fighting my way up to each top. We're off to Hartsop Friday night for our annual families gettogether. I've devised a mini mountain marathon day for Saturday so my daughter can get some navigation practice before the Saunders.
