Team out on Winter Rescue Techniques practice - Sunday 5th February Weather conditions were arctic with gale force winds, driving snow, blinding spindrift and if you stood still your kit froze solid |
|
 |
Summit of Scafell Pike in the 'shelter' of the cairn and yes that is horizontal snow and not lines on the photo |

The moment when yours truly was picked up by the wind and thrown backwards - these digital cameras seem to work regardless of camera shake! |

In the bivy tent on the way back down - a bite to eat in Hollowstones after the epic summit push - unusually there was no one else on the top (perhaps all sensible people stayed off the fells) |
Peter - "Why don't our bivvy tents have poles - my arms are tired now" |
Guy - Mastermind of the Kern Knotts auction - " Why not have a look at the Kern Knotts web page and come along to the Wasdale Head Hotel on Saturday 24th February - it should be a great money raiser for the team - everybody wins" |
Note modifications - team photos of winter practice added 4 February 2001
