Could this be the last snow of the winter?

Daylight at 6.53am, it's chilly but dry.

A bit more snow higher up in the hills.

Looking back down the track as the sun rises, always amazed at the difference the sun makes to everything.

A 29 miler yesterday morning, when the temperature never rose above freezing but the lack of a strong wind, for a change, meant it never felt very cold. We passed a troop of soldiers out on a training march going up Castlelaw at 6am with massive backpacks, it seemed to make the climb to the summit much easier on us!
