Nov 2024 - Ascent from Gale Road car park. Weather luck ran out today! Got absolutely soaked to the bone on the Skiddaw tops. The rain and wind was incessant, and it was that fine rain that gets in everywhere as well - soaking wet pants! The accommodation let me in early and I stood for 20 minutes in the shower to reclaim my core heat. Once dry and warm, I popped in to see Alex @keswickbootco who was showing his best side. It's the grand turning the Christmas lights on festival shenanigans in Keswick tonight. It's rammed.
