Nipped out onto my local Clwydians today which are of comparable altitude to the skyline route (a touch lower). I was in waist deep drifts at 900' and at 1200' I had to turn back as it was impassible.

I was thinking of the skyline of 2007 and that evil wind as I ran and how borderline that was. Today was another league again - astounding for march and I've never seen that much snow on my local hills at any time of year. A day for winter mountaineering perhaps, but not running
