Final Preparations for Langdale..!!

Mountain Weather says this for Saturday 11th October


WIND:Westerly 15-20mph with gusts to 30mph (on the hills ).
Buffeting possible on higher slopes at times
RAIN: Isolated showers.
Showers very isolated and mainly confined to the western fells, elsewhere dry.
CLOUDS: Clouds likely to cover higher slopes above 800-900m in any showers, otherwise clear hills.
SUN: Very localised hill fog in showers, otherwise very good visibility and sunny periods.
TEMP:At 750m: 8 to 10C.


Knowing what Cloud-Magnets that Bowfell and Crinkle Crags are in reality, I suspect that the ability to interpret the squiggles and splodges on a paper representation of the ground, and knowing which way the 'red' bit on a compass points is still going to come in useful!!

And the outlook for Sunday is for even better weather.

So Lorna and I will be plotting some gentle trotting about the Lakeland Fells for then!!
