Notes:

  • A TNR first …bike then hike ..but the right answer (IMHO) given the conditions.
  • Helmet lights were used, but you could see enough without them !
  • Two supplies of hot toddies at the summit of Shutlingsloe
  • Charity was snowdrifted & impassable but….
  • Powder fun was found elsewhere
  • The food and hospitality in the Leathers was excellent
  • I lost feeling in my fingers on the ride home (-9c !!!!!)
