 | Comments: |
The 3 water crossings were not fully bridged however they were not difficult to cross. Barebooted to the first water crossing, then put on spikes. Snow progressively got deeper however spikes worked fine. Deepest snow/drifts were between North and South. Thin layer of snow over ice in places.
