Fell Top Assessors

Just a reminder! ⚠️ This stubborn patch of snow at the top of Swirral Edge has been the scene of many accidents! The overnight frost will have it hard/icy and the ‘I’ll just test it’ step can be all it takes to initiate a very exposed fall. Paddy #beadventuresmart #SummitSafely

The ‘1st day of Spring’! And with big views, sun and a warm breeze on the fells it certainly felt like it! ☀️🏔️. Still the odd patch of old hard snow to be cautious of ⚠️ (Swirral Edge top!). Full report at lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk Paddy #SummitSafely @lakedistrictnpa
