A rare meeting of three Mountain Laurel Designs,Cuben Duomids

Image
I received a message from Darron Linney that he had an extra wknd free, a few messages exchanged and i did a route to try and collect some odd Wainwrights he still needed We met up, along with Lee Taylor at Hartsop carpark..the forecast wasn't good but hills are there for all weathers Sadly as we approached, end of the ridge and Beda fell,Oscar developed a very bad limp 😞 I offered to just return back towards the car myself as the route was meant to keep heading further north from here, but the other two and Max were happy to head back with us  The wind and rain had already started to strengthen so we picked a spot behind Sutara crags to hide us from the worse of the wind  It was pretty fresh as we pitched up but got worse as the evening moved on, we did get a dry lull around tea time so were able to sit out for 30 mins before retiring again Darron did a little video, he put on twitter, showing the shelters getting hit by 50 mph winds, but we all agreed
