Note from Dad :
Route early evening in complete darkness -4c through to -6c with ice found on the path and rocks, we are also testing new high visibility clothing, new strobe safety equipment on a clearly defined path, this area and route is known to me and Jake in both poor weather conditions and at night, both Children have previously experienced temperature's down to - 21C on a regular basis in winter when they lived abroad - basic family activities like going to the supermarket from the car have to be done at -21C , Both Jake and Evie have multiple high performance layers on them to undertake this walk , we have online GPS tracking. we take our safety very seriously! Please be careful now the weather is getting colder and it is getting darker ,
