I was issued with my Norwegian winter gear on Friday so I'd be as warm as toast but I can see where Davids coming from, I wouldn't want to stray too far from the path in the Upper Pennines during wintertime...at least, not without a guide.
Nature can get a little too wild up there. It's probably the closest you can get to a true wilderness in England with nothing between you and the Scottish lowlands except a lot of hills, bogs, a few sheep and the odd squaddie.

Ey up Fitz!
Yeah I know the weather at that time o' year - but it's always been a favourite with me. I'm off to northwest Scotland in 2 weeks - then again in mid-February, off-route walking & camping. It's the very height of freezing weather but I've been doing it for years. There's no people - apart from the occasional dead tourist which we either leave, or chip out of the perma-frost, depending how hungry we are!
...So I assume we're waiting till early Spring for the Knarsdale venture. Let's catch it before the midges appear.
