Weather: Ever brightening with a cold wind, 5C
It looked decidedly wintry as we reached the foot of Stickle Pike today, the showers were of snow and hail and the clouds over the high fells looked to be snow too. Amazingly it started to brighten up almost as soon as we set off with the sunshine lighting up the fells by the time we got to the top. Always a favourite with Connie this one but it was very cold today.

It was looking a bit grim to the north looking across to Caw, the sky was snow laden with frequent showers passing over us. What a fiercely cold wind it was too that heralded a return to wintry conditions with the snow line being down to 300m.
