Finally managed to get a winter outing in the bag - England's highest. Fantastically windy and brutally cold - a thoroughly enjoyable day

Great dramatic pics O0
-
Such great photos Dave, I'm going to have a look at your TR/blog to get the full effect O0
Well done - looks a tremendous day.
-
Great photos Dave, looked an amazing day mate. I’ll have a read of your blog later when I’ve got more time O0
Edit
Excellent read that Dave, I can imagine that day was blumin cold in those winds.
I was up there myself a couple of months ago, no snow, but like you, walking in those conditions around there isn’t easy, so well done. O0

Enjoyed reading your blog, Dave - quite a day out you had there!
-
It was a superb day - the only thing the photos don't show was the wind - pretty tough work for an hour or so between Calf Cove and Lingmell Col
-
A superb walk and photos. Those conditions make some of the images look almost monochrome, which I find enhances the feeling of bleak cold.

Hi Dave,
That really is a fantastic TR. The pics/ views are simply stunning and most certainly worth the struggle through the strong wind and cold.
Cheers
Lee
