Marmot Dark Mountains East Lakes, with J.
Epic. Wild winters night. Happy to survive and very surprised to win the B class outright. We weren’t moving very quickly. Got very wet and cold early on but managed to get enough kit on to survive the night. Not sure I’d have got all the way round without the big waterproof sealskinz gloves. Feeling footsore in dobs by the end, but they were well worth it up on the hill when the snow settled in.
Felt I was in much better shape for this last year, but I think I knew that before the start.
Highlights... Putting up a snipe then it hovered in the wind in front of us looking quite bemused. Coming across a herd of white and black wild horses. When the snow stopped and the moon came out.
