Last night, Bowland Bats "feral" Thursday run was our version of the Settle Loop from the cattle grid near the entrance of the farm lane down to Upper Winskill. 2 bats settled for exploring around Jubilee & Victoria Caves. 6 of us ran S below Attermire to join the Stockdale farm road at s.h. 369m. Ascending above Stockdale Farm we had snowflakes the size of 50p coins. Once up on the moor, we were crunching along in 2 - 3 inches of crisp virgin snow, with the tail wind piling snowflakes in behind my spectacles. At the Langscar junction, we turned W and followed a single set of bike tracks, not more than a few hours old, in the fresh snow. By Jubilee Cave, we bobbed N ove the stile and headed back to the cars. About 1 hour - 45 mins at a very steady trot.
Ian.
