@LakesWeather @TheLengthsman @Sportiva @Petzl @DYNAFIT_SpeedUp Seen our first Swallows in South Lakeland this afternoon (a pair)… surely something favourable has enticed them back…?

‼️ 💨 Strong winds, fresh snow ❄️ and bitterly cold! 🥶 Is it really April and Spring? 🐣 Monday improves but check out the full conditions on Helvellyn🏔️ at lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk Jim @Sportiva @Petzl @DYNAFIT_SpeedUp

Tougher than me⚠️🤦🏻 It might be Spring 🐣 but not at 750m and a wind chill of -7° In my experience you’d have less than an hour before hypothermia hit if you had to stop 🛑😱🥶☠️Jim #BeAdventureSmart @Sportiva

💨 Poor viz 🥹driving rain, strong wind 🌧️ Sometimes it’s just better to sac off a walk on the high fells and enjoy other aspects to Lakeland! 🍻 🔥 Jim #BeAdventureSmart @lakedistrictnpa @kirkstonepassinn #LakeDistrict

‼️ Easter Saturday ‼️ very challenging conditions on the fells ‼️ 🏔️ 💨 💨 💨 🌧️ ❄️ Tek care folks - possibly building to 90mph by end of day! I’d advise to stay low and find a nice valley walk! 🐣 Jim @lakedistrictnpa #BeAdventureSmart #summitsafely
