Bob Graham leg 2 16th Feb

The weather forecast said no snow or ice below 500m, winter conditions have returned above this.  Tom and I set off in the sun for leg 2 Threlkeld to Dunmail, he having done it in the dark last week as part of his successful winter BG round.  Tom's time for this leg 4.12.

As we reached the 500m level we appreciated what the warning re winter conditions was about but with no wind and the sunshine it made for a majestic day on the fells.
