One of the highest wind speeds the fell top assessors have recorded - 98mph! Glad I ate my bodyweight in mince pies this Christmas! #summitsafely Zac
We'll let Jon enjoy his well earned retirement after 16 years & 778 ascents but Wes & Zac will be back for the first snows of next winter Have a grand summer of adventures 😎 #summitsafely
55mph winds with -15 chill & with wicked spin drift I didn't hang around long at the summit..just long enough to get a quick brew & a bite to eat #summitsafely #Cairngorms #getoutside #getoutdoors
Backpacker Magazine I too have worn running shoes because most hiking gear is too expensive. Or a pair of boots that was not high end and added a pair of spikes to them. I like waterproof socks too, that help a lot for half the cost. #slidemountain #catskills #SummitSafely
Busy busy busy 🙂 Plenty of folk out enjoying a spectacular Easter Sunday on the #lakedistrict fells. Parking was an issue around the more popular mountains. Worth exploring other mountains, different times of day or modes of transport? #summitsafely Zac
We had a bigger, higher walk planned, but conditions underfoot were iffy to say the least, so we detoured enjoying Fusedale instead, & nipped up a bonus at the end.
📍 Steel Knotts, 432m
📍 Hallin Fell, 388m
As Fell Top Assessors sagely advise, make good decisions and #summitsafely

Close, but no cigar! Ben Starav in Glen Etive was the objective. However, the strengthening sustained windspeeds, severe gusts, and potential for a fall on exposed frozen ground forced me to turn back. #thinkwinter #summitsafely 💨❄️⚠️
Made it to the top #RedScrees #LakeDistrict ... what a tough slog in snow at the end .. 2500 ft climbing, how did such weak #Vegan s manage that🤣🤣 As you can see the views are just STUNNING #SummitSafely #BeAdventureSmart #Vegan walkers #Vegan #Vegan uary #Vegan uary2023
Great wander up to Pike of Blisco from top of Wrynose. Tracked 3 ‘walkers’ who turned off to the Crinkle Crags route. Trainers, converse shoes and inadequate coats for the predicted PM rain. #summitsafely . Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team Rain duly came and they were a top in the clouds!

Lake District I went up Red Screes yesterday lots of snow/ice everywhere, what views though #Summitsafely
With all the #LakeDistrict walking me & Popeye UK do, invested in some more safety equipment from Lifesystems Lepro could be a lifesaver in years to come #Summitsafely #Beadventuresmart

My day! 🏞️⛰️🥶 Loved launching our annual Fell Top Assessor season on Helvellyn! Let the winter commence! Follow 👉Fell Top Assessors #SummitSafely #BeAdventureSmart #LakeDistrict
Will never change. It is the entitlement that gets me. What gives these folk the right to put others at risk? #summitsafely #beadventuresmart
The mind boggles. Our mountains are stunning but please go prepared and #SummitSafely #LakeDistrict
