Routemeister Dan leads us off at a cracking pace

Beautiful starry night – lights off up nessit climb to savour orions belt

Crunchy snow – at last the right amount!

Permafrost the right conditions for going over shutlingsloe

Gordons with lemon ice & lime on Croker Hill – very civilised

Frozen ruts make for an interesting descent (good thing we had the gin then!)

A snug Ryles arms all to ourselves!!

KT brings smiles & cake for Dan
