"Walked from Glenridding to Keswick. Nice views at the start but conditions turned awful. Visibility went to pretty much zero, started snowing heavily. Having to make my own footpaths wading through about 3ft of snow was sooooo tiring. Ended up skipping Great Dodd and just tried to make it down in one piece. Fun stuff!" — MrGrinch • Mar 2, 2024
