After a night spent in the Keswick youth hostel, we (myself and my friend Sue) headed down south a little to hike up Great Gable. We parked up in Seatoller and followed the road towards Seathwaite over the somewhat icy tracks. The lower level paths were also icy in the valley, and it was a bit tricky to start off with, but higher up it was more snow-covered terrain and quite OK to walk without the crampons. We didn't see many other people on the walk. And we didn't get much in the way of summit views because it had clouded over shortly before we got to the summit. Nevertheless, it was good to be out again after the previous day's hike at least in some nice hard snow too.
