Hi John, it certainly looked cold. Funny how dogs never seem to notice it like us humans. I'll have to wait on Father Christmas to see if I get any crampons,so it';; be a while before I attempt anything like that. Best wishes, Dave L.

Enjoyed the album John, just needed a little blue sky and sunshine? Captured the scene well though. Chris

Worth an early start for the conditions John. Like Jo one day I'll do a walk like that, but not at the same time otherwise we'll have one each. Andrew

Great album John. Shame it wasn't clear on the top but still some good atmospheric shots. Jill

Mant thanks for the pictures. Glad to see that the 2 walkers without crampons had the sense to turn back. Liked the look of Pollys' "frosted" coat to. Regards, Dave B (ofc)
