Snow on the Cumbrian fells in June....


Well, before the rain started on Friday we (Sally and a mate called Brains (yeah, I know...)) had an perfect week of climbing goodness. I played in North Wales with friends at the weekend on Llechog and Cromlech, followed by an unparalleled 4 days of stunning weather in the Lakes.

We bagged excellent routes on Black Crag, Gimmer, Dow and Shepherd's. Eliminate A, Murray's Direct and Fisher's folly to name only a few. And oh how gorgeous is North West Arete on Gimmer!

This was all interspersed with great coffee, awesome breakfasts and a little gear shopping.

happy sigh.

oh and to top it off, at the very end of the week after highs of 26 degrees centigrade plus, we had snow on the fell tops, an arctic low and very heavy rain. I love the variety of British weather!
