| Re: Any snow in the Lakes?
Got back yesterday. Did Helvellyn via the edges on Monday in the most gloriously sunny late winter conditions (saw some Snow Bunting on the top too). A rather fearsome cornice still clung stubbornly to the edge above Red Tarn. This caused a problem descending to Swirral Edge and it was a very awkward fifteen feet or so. For this short stretch an ice axe would've come in handy.
Still, the weather made for a truly memorable experience.
