Weather - beautiful sunny day with some high cloud ... Route: Jenkin Hill path to Skiddaw.R & K08/09/2021
Attempted to climb Skiddaw on a sunny afternoon. Got to the top and a massive hail storm rolled in with really strong winds so only got as far as Middle Top. Fearing there may be lightning with the hail we got off the mountain pretty quick. We will be back !!jarmin4528/07/2021
