05/02/2012 - Training Walk #4 - The Cloud's Revenge

A bit of a snow drift to contend with.

In advance of the first full team walk, Mark and Lee decided to up the distance and planned a 14km walk using The Cloud but with a variation - more hills. 

The plan was to increase the ascent and descent a bit more before tackling The Cloud from the other side.

There was however, one small flaw in the plan...........

Red Leader 100m apart maximum please!




The night before we'd had a reasonable dumping of the white stuff, though nothing like what we were about to experience on the hills. Coupled with a mist and fog and an a partially unfamiliar route we were in for an interesting time.

The consequences of leaving a man behind

 


We were joined by Polly (Lee's girfriend, support team member and a well trained fell runner) and Simon (colleague and honorary Red Harrow). 

Mark and Lee at the Trig Point - no view today!
