Winnats 4wd only then?
- Well - at that time, yeah. We had a little traffic jam on the steep bit involving a grumpy JCB driver who was busy shifting snow (no grit like, which would have made a HUGE difference) and a 4x4 coming down. We all managed to avoid each other though. Was probably 4x4 from the top, round the hair pin and up to the car park at mam tor too. Oddly , it had been gritted from there onwards to Chapel, and was virtually clear. (as though the gritter came up from chapel, turned round at the car park and went back
)
How did the slopes N of the main face look?
do you mean the ones north east of the face, on the castleton side - they where pretty grassy, with some wind blown filled gullys, You could have got some lines down them I think.
Off the back, north face, facing edale was equally scoured, due to the wind blowing right along from lose hill,
again a few small filled gullys, one of which I grabbed a few turns down, but not really worth the effort of walking again. Would love to get off the back of lose hill, if its not too scoured.
will post some piccies later
The steep sides of winnats may be worth a look tomorrow.
