There's still snow on Kinder Scout! :-)
« on: 19:10:12, 06/03/10 »
Just thought I'd post a few shots from my walks last week - all involving Kinder Scout - but via different ascents/descents.
 
Still plenty of snow and ice around, especially in the deep groughs on the plateau.
Crowden and Grindsbrook Cloughs are great fun to climb at the moment and a bit of a challenge negotiating rocks, boulders and small waterfalls! ;)
 
The weather was fabulous each time, with a near white out occuring on Monday after a sunny start - but before a sunny end to the day!
It actually felt quite strange walking along the plateau in snow and ice wearing only a sleevless vest! 8) (and trousers, of course! LOL)
 
 
Anyway, enough of that......
 
 
Here are the photos!!! O0 .....



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
I think the helicopter was transporting materials for either path building or to help with erosion control!

Hope you enjoyed!!

Excellent pictures Tracy yet again, it all looks very nice up there still. There must be a lot of rabbits up there that like the snow looking at all the prints.
 
Hope its like that on Wednesday.  O0

A-bloomin-mazing all that snow still surviving! So sunny today but really cold when I stepped outside the house at 10am! (Why wasn't I on some hill today??!)
 
Thanks for putting up the pics - excellent stuff. Glad you wore the trousers though, this being an all-age forum an all.  :D

Erm.....those prints belong to Mountain Hares!  If you follow them for a while, you might just see one hiding in a grough on the plateau! 8)
