Braving high winds and rain [please vary intro to these trip reports\u2013 Ed] several Gentian parties set out on the Saturday from the MAM hut in Coniston. Tarn Hows proved a popular destination with one group continuing on to the Cat Cafe at Hawkshead [?!? – explanation needed – Ed] for tea and buns while another group were forced on their return to seek shelter in a Coniston hotel where, quite coincidentally, the Wales v Ireland rugby match played on TV and real ales were served.<\/p>\n

Sunday brought (slightly) better weather and various groups headed out toward Goat’s Hawse, Coniston Old Man and Wetherlam with icy patches at high levels requiring deployment of Kahtoola microspikes.<\/p>\n

Another poor weather but good company weekend.<\/p>\n
