Ian has had to abandon his attempt at NP-004 due to adverse weather conditions. He is sorry he could not make it, but it was just too dangerous to continue.
Happy New Year to you all

The only sensible thing to do with the weather closing in. I did monitor both both S20 & 70.450 but heard nothing, but Whernside will certainly be there again another day 
Happy New Year!

I have no doubt that cancelling was the right decision. Safety is paramount, the hills will be there another day.
VHF fun day in a couple of days, Im going to wait until as late as possible to make a decision to venture out or not.
I’m wondering what are others thoughts are?

I would like to go out and bag as many S2S as possible towards my Summitsbase S2S Award. However it depends on the weather! I have no desire to be either soaked (like today), or frozen stiff (like yesterday in the cumulative contest)!
Like you, I am going to leave the decision to the last minute.

Hi Mark
All was okay until I reached the 586 contour, whereupon, I found myself wading through snow up to my thighs in places and the odd falling over, I’m sure humourous to many walkers in close proximity. The easterly fierce wind was blowing snow off the ground creating a blizzard and many fell walkers were turning around finding the conditions to tough to continue. Certainly not a dangerous situation, more frustration and being uncomfortable. Even if I had reached the summit, would any activation have been enjoyable, in my opinion, it would not have been, therefore the abandonment. As you rightly say Mark Whernside will be still there when I choose to try again in more comfortable weather.
Thanks though for monitoring the relevant frequencies and Brian M0OYG for letting all know I had abandoned the activation.
