Wasdale two nights and a Trek-Lite meet up.June 2017
The date had been set a while back for a Trek-Lite meet up, but as the date approached the weather took a nasty dive, after a long warm spell of good weather! I packed Friday afternoon and after an hour and a bits drive i was parked up along the Wasdale road for 3-30pm I got sorted and reached for my footwear ! Ooops seems I've brought two left La Sportiva Wildcats ....a mix match of footwear was called for Nothing much to say about Fridays weather, lets just say it started to lash down 5 mins from the car...at least the new Crux jacket got a good testing.We only stopped once on the way up the wind rain and thick crag didn't warrant stopping for anything, but a short stop.The only plus being iwas able to pick up water from camp only 50 metres below my camp on the coll, between Haycock and Scott fell It stayed wet nearly all evening apart from a brief lull around 9 pm,i stretched my legs, had a pee and returned to my trusted shelter
