Heading up from Hayfield
towards Kinder on 25 Feb 2005 there was a thin cover of snow in the fields from
falls over the previous couple of days, though most of the snow had been blown
to the edges in a strong east wind.
Higher up on the edges of Kinder though the snow was deep, this is looking down the side of Kinder Low End after I'd climbed up through knee deep powerdery snow
On Kinder Low with a crisp covering of snow in a constant gale force east wind which at times made walking, and even standing, almost impossible. Despite the sun the wind chill was bitter.
Looking to the trig point at Kinder low past deep snow drifts
Sun and deep frozen snow, much easier than trudging through the more usual sodden peat
A real arctic landscape over 600m / 2000 feet up in the High Peak
Deep snow drifts fill the peat groughs.
Heading back down Kinder Low End through the deep drifted snow
The week after, 4 March, I went up Kinder again. This is the frozen downfall
Drifts fill the groughs
