The actual climbing was only for a half day in the afternoon as it was snowing overnight an in the morning, leading to a very cold climbing session

windgather-5.jpg (10226 bytes) I can not really think of a comment for this picture

except
"the sooner it stops snowing the better"

 

I have climbed at Windgather many times with groups, indeed when I stay with groups in Hayfield we often walk on Kinder Scout one day and climb at Windgather the next.
I climbed here on both my training and assessment days of my SPSA held at Whitehall.
