Thanks for the replies. I know it is not easy to judge peoples experiences, but I always try to be careful and stay within my limits.
I did not realise that Hall's Fell ridge was actually graded? (I have done it in the summer). I may still do that on the second day if I am feeling confident and it is not too difficult (going to research this thoroughly first). If needed I can always just turn around if it gets difficult.
Oh yeah I meant Striding Edge not Sharp Edge, but the same applies in regards to winter, and there is no need to push myself to do that, even though I am probably capable, it is silly doing it on my own for now.
Yeah I tried that, but the only problem with the webcams, is half the time you look you just see cloud, but I expect there should be some snow coming later in the week, and if not I can still enjoy the hills anyway.
I think that going up the tourist path to Skiddaw will be plan for the first day, as that should be popular, not too difficult and hopefully get me some snow. As to the second day, I could attempt Hall's fell ridge if I feel I am capable, or I will probably go up Nethermost pike from Wythburn and then on to Helvellyn, or any other similar route. Looking at the contours, Fairfield looks good, but perhaps a bit challenging getting up and around the summit from past memories in the summer.
