Marmot Dark Mountains 2016

Hooray, a mountain marathon in the Lake District! At night. In January. With a weather warning. What could possibly go wrong?

Or “snow”, in Welsh. Which I’ll confess I didn’t know until I looked it up.

17.5km of gales and wind-blasted rain with Stuart around Dove Dale on Sunday. All good character-building stuff.
