Chee Dale and Kinder Night Navigation..

The weather has been good in the Peak District for the last few days with cool temperatures and clear blue skies. Ideal conditions for climbing or bouldering on the Gritstone Edges.

Yesterday I was down in Chee Dale, where it was surprisingly dry for the time of year. Plum Buttress, The Embankment, The Sidings, Nettle Buttress, Two Tier Buttress and Chee Tor were all in climbable condition. The Cornice is still suffering from excess seepage for the time being. Quite inspirational for March!

Wednesday evening saw Peter and I heading up to Kinder Scout for a Night Navigation reassessment as part of the Mountain Leader Award. Peter passed with relative ease which always makes the evening more enjoyable.

Unfortunately it looks like sunshine and showers (possibly snow on high ground) to come for most of the Peak District for the next few days..
