Overnight the constant rain turned to snow. Although not too windy the conditions were not good enough to complete my planned stage. I needed reasonable visibility to negotiate the wet ground I'd planned to cross.


Everything in the tent was wet from condensation


After 2 days of rain and snow.

The weather report was bad for all today but expected to improve tomorrow. I decided to stay put for the day and wait for the morning. During the evening the snow stopped and some small patches of clear sky revealed the stars.
