Not 56!

We should have been setting off at 4.30 tomorrow morning to try the Three Peaks, for those of you out there sensible enough not to know about it, you have to do Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon within 24 hours. A tall order, almost impossible if like us you're using a minibus limited to 62mph.The weather forecast is for 65mph winds and sleet on B Nevis, so it was called off. People regularly die up there from losing the path along a  narrow stretch with fatal drops on one side, near fatal on the other. OK if you have a compass and some visibility, but in the dark with gales not so good. We might try again.
