Winter Hill ,Horwich, UK
About Me Jake ,I am 11 years old and have Autism. This Blog is about what I can do not what I cannot,sometimes people think I cannot because I have autism ,this blog is about challenging that!I have lots of special interests, in particular running, exploring and this blog shows a small amount of what I get up to! Please be careful as some of activities I do may look easy are not , I know Winter Hill very well I can get off safely and know what to do when the weather closes in ,to keep myself safe I use high performance clothing and footwear,waterproof/ breathable/reflective/thermal layers. in layers so I keep warm and dry , I take my safety seriously and I always take care when out exploring. My dad is very experienced on the fells he is teaching me how to keep safe.I can use a map and compass, the hills can be windy , very cold, be wet , misty and boggy. STAY SAFE! check out under my link's for advice on safety from Bowland and Pennine Mountain rescue.

quick post first snow on Winter Hill.

Rivington Pike -snow, we went via two Lads -cold weather -1 to the pike through fog with some falling snow
me doing a roly poly though the snow hadnt really settled but it was still fun !
running down the road snow falling   after going between the Pike and mast road 

watching the snow falling when we were in the car !

very odd night - hail , clear sky's with gusts of wind , then snow falling then fog then snow again - just a small amount though !

  1. Bit early for the first snow Jake! I live on the Fylde Coast. Sometimes I can see the snow. Today I can't!
