Had another blustery but excellent day on Hellvelyn today. I ski toured up from Dunmail Raise after about an hour of walking.
The slopes have been fairly scoured in most places by the winds, but hollows, and re-entrants are hanging onto the snow nicely and I was treated to a fantastic powder ski back down!
It's all very winter and 'Lake District' up there and expect to need to use your crampons if you head onto the tops.
Cornices of new soft slab are forming above the gullies and would certainly collapse if anyone were to wander onto them.
Back up there tomorrow for more fun! :0)
