I had planned to nip up to the Lakes for a quick weekend backpacking trip before the snow vanishes. Looking at MWIS and the LD weatherline I'm seeing "gale force winds", "bitterly cold", "significant windchill", "walking arduous". I'm now bouncing between stay at home with a book and a glass of red and go on you won't have another chance for a while. Anyone else similarly conflicted? Am I just being a softy?
My plans were Eskdale / Wasdale / Langdale area. What are the conditions like on the ground?
