I don’t mind admitting that I was a little dubious when I crossed the snow line. It was a little extreme at time with blizzard condition and 40 mph gusts, my hydro pack froze solid at about 1500 ft, for those interested the summit of Blencathra is 2847 ft. I am one of those idiots that once out and on the way I won’t turn back. I’m equipped to survive up to 48 hours but I was a little worried at one point. Put what a day. Sorry Spuggie but you did miss a good one, Gayle get him kitted up I’ll show him some snow. Thanks Tinks.
