February Update

Well the lateness of this last update leads me to the conclusion that blogs without pictures are not as and attractive proposition as blogs with. Having had technical difficulties with downloading pictures, there has been a distinct lack of photographic records. We have now sorted that.

The cold spell has continued, but we've still managed to get out and about with walking, a little climbing, and some paddling. There has been a distinct lack of snow in the vallies, but I'm happy to say that the fells have had some of the best snow conditions this winter. So while the South West of the country and the Midlands have ground to a halt we in The Lakes have been having a great time.

Classic winter walking weather means bright sunshine falling onto beautiful white mountain tops. With good snow conditions it was time for some of us to test out the ice axes and crampons.

On the way Home

The necessity to wrap up warm and think a little more carefully about what you're doing is rewarded by stunning scenery.

Looking forward, we have Half Term and some good deals on activities, so if you're planning a visit get in touch. We also have the start of our school group season with schools booked in for their first taste of adventure for 2009. Holiday periods are always busy, so the sooner you know what you want to do the better.

Have fun if you do manage to get out.
