Get out there and make it happen!!
You'll get some good days out and memorable views
Take care and enjoy your travels. Maybe see you on a hill somewhere.
Whilst I totally agree with the sentiment of your post, Coop, I would recommend that Russell waits until the conditions underfoot improve before embarking on his adventures. The hills in full winter condition are probably not the safest place for a complete novice (unless he is with experienced companions of course).
But yes, get out there, enjoy, and take care, Russell.
