Unable to get to Mitredale due to snow. Run out to Birkrigg with Angus - managed to keep up with him on way out but after loop around the back and drop into Urswick he was very strong up onto Hill Fort. His stride in the snow is longer than mine! Good effort on the way back in and he was strong up the big dipper at the end. Good session.

Walk up Wetherlam carrying walking stick, coffee etc in small pack. Missed path up as not concentrating and climbed side of steep gully to meet main ridge just on snow line. As usual several false summits in the snow but made the top in 1hr 20mins. Very grey and threatening clouds but cagged up and had some food and proceeded towards Swirl How. Another 40mins to reach the summit but snow ok in dobs. Then turned down Coniston ridge, over Old Man and down past tarn. Knees felt strange without hurting so hoping they're improving.

Talent Squad with Florrie, Mike & Adam. Some pacing bits and then relay session using different styles - run, hop, strides, side paces etc. Very cold and ground rock hard.

Out around Coniston - up East of lake and back via Torver - blustery.
Clear but cold - feet blocks of ice.

Old gits - Brown Horse at Winster. Snowed in car park at 10am, cold!
Uphill efforts with Tony Walker, Steve Buckley & Dick Towler. Phil, Roger & John following on behind.

Daisy Fletcher & Florrie Dobson - met Graham at Birkrigg and out with maps and head torches. Coldish wind but ok night - good session.

Up in Summer House Knott collecting white pegs from Mike Athertons aborted session.
Clear sunshine to start but couded over and much colder by end.
