An icy day on Scafell Pike today despite the thaw over the past few days, we set off from Seathwaite and climbed by Sty Head to the Corridor Route, climbing just past the 2000ft point on the path before a decision was made to turn back, the many short patches of ice had used up too much time.

After a short lunch break we turned round and followed the path back to Seathwaite, arriving back at the farm at 4.30.

Good day spent navigating around Grange Fell.
After climbing to King's How, we stopped for lunch then continued to Brund Fell. We then negotiated lumps, bumps and a few walls for the rest of the afternoon before returning to Grange.

A good day today in plenty of snow on Brown Cove Crags, near Helvellyn practising some ropework.

We climbed from Swirls Car Park, near Thirlmere to the lower slopes of Brown Cove Crags picking out a few of the lower crags to practice some belays on.

A good day with plenty of fresh snow, drifted in places, but cold in the breeze.

We descended the White Stones path down to Thirlspot and the Kings Head Inn.

A great weekends Winter Skills Course above the Borrowdale Valley. On Saturday we climbed to Esk Hause and practised ice axe skills on the slopes below the Hause as well as step cutting and other skills. After lunch we climbed to Calf Cove and had a good practice with crampons before returning to Seathwaite in the moonlight.
On Sunday we climbed to Say Head and climbed onto The Band, the shoulder of Great End. We put yesterdays skills into use and had an enjoyable climb up the shoulder. After lunch we descended to Seathwaite Fell and practiced some ropework before descending back to Seathwaite.

A good day on Grange Fell today with a Navigation Course, running several exercises as we cimbed to the summit of Kings How and onwards to Brund Fell, the summit of Grange Fell before continuing over much of the rough ground to the north of Brund Fell.

A great day with a covering of snow on Grange Fell and some amazing views over Borrowdale, and a nice surprise as we came across a herd of deer as we descended back towards the trees.

A great day today above Buttermere, we set of from the Bridge Hotel at 10am and followed the path climbing to Scale Force, most of the ground was frozen so the boggy bits were easily crossed.

From Scale Force we climbed te path by Lingcombe Edge to the summit of Red Pike, there were some great views, although it was a little hazy over the coast today.

From Red Pike we followed the ridge to the summit of High Stile, the highest point of the day before continuing along the ridge to High Crag.

We descended over Gamlin End from High Crag and down the Scarth Gap Path to the Buttermere Lakeshore and back to Buttermere.

A great day above Braithwaite today, setting off from Braithwaite we climbed along the Kinn ridge to the summmit of Grisedale Pike, climbing into the cloud on the last slope to the summit, there was very little other than whiteb to see from the summit so we pressed on.

As we were following the ridge to Hopegill Head the cloud started to break and we were rewarded with a sight of a Brocken Spectre.

We crossed to the summit of Hopegill Head and descended across Sand Hill to Coledale Hause, following the new path to the summit of Crag Hill, some deep snow drifts as we climbed to the summit.

From Crag Hill we crossed to Sail and dropped down to Sail Pass, dropping out of the cloud here at last, descending from the pass and dropping doown to follow the ridge down over Outerside, Stile End and Barrow.

The views from Barrow were great, the sun was starting to set. We descended the northern ridge of Barrow as the sun started to set.
