Slip slidin’ away

With plenty of snow forecast for tomorrow me and Ella are confident that our impending weekend of fell-walking will be sufficiently challenging to make the effort worthwhile. We're both a tad rusty with the winter gear so we're looking forward to practising our self-arrests and other such life-saving stuff. The only downside is the possibility of me falling on my own downside - it's still not properly fixed, so I'll be toting an appropriate amount of impact-protection.

The drive up the M6 could be fun too. The Met. Office site says "Band of snow moves in from the west during the day, with snow falling to all levels and occasionally becoming heavy. This is accompanied by stormforce southeasterly winds to bring blizzard conditions."

Hmm... that bit could be interesting.
