Saturday 11th Feb

Just as YJ and I were leaving the meet, Colin (must sort out an alias for you, any suggestions?) appeared back from his warm up, which, as we found from the wind-chill higher up, was definitely needed. YJ's knee was still a problem and we left him to his own devices.

Colin and I headed for Two Lads and then the Pike, at which point he turned for home for a date with a delivery man. I continued, to complete the climbs.

As we ran, we marvelled at the unusual ice formations which encrusted every available surface:-

Smashing photos, Colin. There won't be many shots like these about, because by Sunday the surface frost had all gone.
