Back to the hills

My first day in the hills this year, despite a promissing forecast (the day before) the weather was pretty dire. A 3am start from home, unfortunately I got held up on the M6 for over an hour and then caught slow traffic for the rest of the trip, arriving in the layby on the A470 at 10:20am.Met Jess Wright at the top shelf at about 10:50am, he had seen just one Hawk since arriving much earlier.We got 'machine gunned' by what felt like white ball bearings in a hail blizzard, it was a white out with zero viz for quite a while, but after a long wait we had a Tornado through at 12:51 , that was followed by several Hawks.Not a great day, but it was made better by having some good company, Wednesday looks like better weather, so I'll be back for another go!
