note from dad: a full set of emergency kit is carried by Jake - a bivi bag, foil blanket, food,water ,whistle,
he understands how to use this equipment we take his safety very seriously,
Jake has a great deal of experience on this terrain and has been trained to cover this in the dark, sleet and snow,ice , fog ,this environment has many micro climates - we came across still air which dipped to - 6 through to wind of 30 mph combined with -2 to -4 gives a very low feel like factor in less than 150 metres.
this environment is tough what Jake make appear easy is not unless you are equipped and experienced,

Its not clear on what you need ,this blog is a route in the dark and in poor conditions against defined peaks on winter hill, this blog entry became part one,The full route plus details you are looking for are on http://jakeofwinterhill.blogspot.com/2011/02/10-or-14-peak-courses-on-winter-hill-by.html,
ReplyDeleteBackground :Jake thought it would be better to link three of the big runs together into one hence the 10/14 peaks route , they were each a separate run/walk. does this assist or what do you need ?
