It's been a windy day out in the Peak District today. Izzy and myself headed up onto Kinder Scout to have a wander around. Most of the snow has melted just leaving some larger drifts of very soft snow.

The westerly winds have been quite strong making it hard going high on the plateau, although there were still plenty of people out and about.

The eastern edges are largely free of snow although there is quite a lot of water about. The good news is that the strong westerly wind should dry the edges quickly. People were out and about at Stanage and Burbage North today although it looked bitterly cold. Venues such as Rivelin, Cratcliffe, Lawrencefield, Stoney Middleton and Beeston Tor are probably a good bet in the conditions.

Further a field, Dan and Bene climbed 'Glover's Chimney' III,4 on Ben Nevis today reporting good conditions.

With high pressure dominating throught the next week the weather should be good for climbing in the Peak District.
