Magnificent Monday
7th March 2022
Another stunning day in the North West but the wind was brutal and biting – don’t let the photo’s fool you. Â The easiest decision today was when to apply crampons and that was as soon as you hit the first bit of snow. Â Unforgiving underfoot conditions and I kept my crampons on until I left the snow and that was after the top surface (finally) started to soften. Â We still have good snow cover in the North West if you look in the right places.
