Everyone,
I know you think I`m overcautious,but I`m old & just maybe got old by being cautious!
We have a crap forecast for Digby`s attempt & we don`t want it to fail `cos supporters get into trouble.
NO-one should go out without without a GOOD cag with hood,waterproof trousers,thermals(2) or fleece,good gloves & hat.
Yes I know I`m a pain but were you there when we had our last failure (10 years ago) when Margaret & Mary were brought off the hill with hypothermia or 2 years ago when Allan Greenwood came in to Wasdale wearing 3 hats,2 pairs of gloves etc,etc,& shivering uncontrollably.We warmed him up by sending him up Yewbarrow!
PLEASE,don`t compromise on your personal kit or the support could become a liability
Boring old Phil
