We had a superb walk up Skiddaw yesterday. Along with Robin and Cathryn, we set off from
Mirehouse, climbing steeply through Dodd
Wood, reaching snow towards the top of the track. The climb up to Carlside was
bathed in sunshine and although the wind was our constant companion, the sun reflecting
off the snow provided unexpected warmth.
At Carlside, we said a temporary farewell to R and C who decided to forego
the summit. Breaking out one set of crampons (and another bag with computer
leads!), we made our way up through the snow to the summit and stunning views!
