Blustery showers in the Peak..

The last few days have been characterised by strong winds and heavy showers in the Peak District.

Despite the fairly wild weather we have got plenty of climbing done with students from the University of Derby, Buxton. As part of the 'Advanced Mountain Skills' module for the Outdoor Activities Management and Outdoor Recreation courses, we have visited Windgather, Alderly Cliff, Froggatt, Roaches, Stanage and Lawrencefield.

The strong winds have dried the crags very quickly, despite some of the heavy showers we have experienced. This weather pattern looks to continue for the next few days into the weekend..
