  • What a lovely album and the inversion, snow and tricky ice. Frances

  • Wow John, a real superb walk in great conditions. That ice really would have been a nasty surprise for the unwary! Andrew

  • Hi John. Doesn't snow make everything look so beautiful. Lucky you for being able to make the most of it - mind you I don't envy you the ice!. All the best. Rachel

  • Jill, you don't need crampons on snow. You need them on a) water ice, as I did yesterday and b) white ice - which is the ice formed when snow softens in the sun and then freezes to form white ice, almost but not quite as hard as water ice. John x

  • What a wonderful day John. Snow and an inversion ,,, like Jo and Jill B, I too am very envious! Do crampons help on sheet ice then ,,, I thought they were just for snow. Shows how much I know!!! Glad you had a good day and are back safe. Jill

  • Dear John, Knowing how much you love the snow I knew you'd be out somewhere Great set of pictures and Polly looks to be loving it too. Hope you have many more days like this and like Jo I'm very envious, Take care now, Jill

  • Hello John, I really enjoyed looking at your photos. I was in the Lakes yesterday but the icy high fells were out of bounds for me so it's great to look at your photos instead! Thanks. Maggie
