Hi everyone

 

Been up Froggatt Edge today and due to the snow and ice still up there I think it may take us longer than the 3.5 hours we have advised at the start of the thread. Just wanted to let people know in advance - and it was cold too- bring extra layers!

 

Stunning views though.

 

See you Sunday
