Is it worth even setting out in this weather?

River East Allen

Lambs only just born

Derelict church at Spartylea

The weather clears...

...but there's still plenty of snow on the tops

Heather buried in wind-sculpted snow

Across the Icy Wastes

We spy a snowball target..

As Ed hits the target of Chris's shoulder

Glad we didn't choose this road to get to the walk start

Ed's having his Scotch Egg, even if everyone leaves him behind

Andrew leaves the shelter of the cairn

Jon leads the way up to Kilhope Law

The bleak Kilhope Law

674 cold meters up

Killhope Law

In the Allenheads Inn (antiques bar)
