After calling off my trip to the loop thanks to some coursework that needed doing Sunday night, I thought I'd head to the lakes today. After 4 hours sleep (Coursework took longer than expected 
) found myself heading to Smaithwaite. Unfortunately most of the snow has now melted, but the tops are still covered and there were patches up the track.
Not a good start after being hillpassed by a 100 SQN hawk. It was surprisingly mild for the middle of December until the wind got up in the afternoon
. At 12:45 (roughly), the day was saved by a single GR4. Unfortunately I ballsed up the whole pass (the light didn't help), so here's two mediocre rescue jobs....
1. Low and fast...just the ticket
2. Taking the turn
There wasn't much more happening but the scanner was busy. Just as the light was further worsening and the full force of a wintery shower was released upon us, a light glinted in the distance, and for once, it wasn't a car coming through Dunmail!
