If Mrs Pit could have joined me it would have been even better but you can't have everything eh !!! Snicker all wrapped up and ready to go ! Shame this wasn't at Christmas ! I think this is one of Maisy's favourite hikes as well ! Lot's of tracks around but the soft powdery snow made it hard to see detail. The waterfall~ And a close up~ I've posted this before but for any that missed it, I like to attach a duct tape parcel to some of my knife sheaths containg some PJB rolled in fatwood dust.I find that in bad weather these are easy to pull off and get a fire going quickly rather than opening your main kit up and getting the contents wet.

Come to think of it, we have so many fire BANS that I don't get to practice starting fires very often <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> JYD #121 The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.
