Forgot to say, it’s nearing brass monkeys up here and snowflakes just beginning to fall. So although haven’t been on the bridleways for a while I can confidently predict it’ll be pretty firm going ATM.
Squirrel that’s a good point re section 10-12, the general gist I’ve gathered from the Conservators/AONB/Keepers Of The Path/Ankh Morpork Song And Dance Society is to stick to the East side and stay off the ridge. As a daylight bimbler I tend towards cheeky carte blanche or well-lit midnight raids, both have served me well so far and any complaints I’ve had are my own as a walkist when twice near-flattened by Weekend Warriors thinking it’s their own Black Run whilst running late for pie 😉
