Well only one left, what will I do when they are done? About Eight years ago A friend of mine from work asked me if I wanted to go up great gable with him, I said why not I'll give it a go. That day changed my life. Unfortunately my friend has been having bother with his hips and has not been able to walk the hills like he used to, This has also changed his life. Last week he under went surgery to repair his damaged hips. So hopefully in a couple of months time we will go up my last Wainwright together and square the circle.
I wouldn't recommend this way up, It very muddy and the path back down through the woods is not good.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
