Temperature Inversion Spoils the Fun.

I have been slightly neglecting my duties as prophet of Lakes winter climbing over the last week. Largely because there hasn't been much to write about

It has been very cold in the valleys for the last couple of days but due to an inversion the freezing level has been above the tops. The odd gully in the Eastern fells (NO 2 gully on Helvellyn ) has managed to hold just enough snow to give a wintry outing.
