Kevin and myself had a late start on the hill (10:10hrs) after getting stuck behind a house on the way to the hill.
The day started out really good, not long after getting out of the woods we had shed a few layers and were enjoy weather
By the time we were hitting the snow line, the weather started to close in, it started with sleet, which soon turned snow, backed by a heavy wind, we battled on and the snow under foot was starting to turn to ice. We found a little bit of shelter and put on an extra layer or two and out came the spikes.
The weather was changeable throughout the day, great views to not being able to see beyond 70 or 80 meters, but the views were cracking
By the time we had reached the top of Number 4 the winds had dropped, the sun was out and it was a glorious afternoon, a cracking end to the walk.
The final decent down was a bit of a slog, the path was good enough, but after 8 hours on the hills I think we just wanted to be off the hill.
