Fells Conditions 3/7/09

[ragertim]

a couple of us took a hike in the fells on saturday. while we started out hiking on snow at mid-morning, by early afternoon it had melted substantially and left an awful lot of standing and running water, and of course, mud.

sheepfold is a complete disaster - there isn't a blade of grass anywhere and it is a massive field of mud and ... you can use your imagination. i wouldn't go near the place for a while...
