The posts have been a bit thin on the ground due to Neil and myself visiting Chamonix for the last couple of weeks. Currently, it's fairly mild over the vast majority of France although some new snow is expected soon.

Back in the Peak District, the weather has been good out on the gritstone between the rain (allegedly). It certainly looks good just at the moment. The forecast is promising for the weekend with cold and dry weather expected. It might be a bit chilly on the exposed edges so the usual suspects of Rivelin, Lawrencefield, Birchen, and Cratcliffe might be a good bet..
