The summit of Brown Knoll (569m) with Kinder Scout ahead. Although the sun was out there was still a bitterly cold wind. |
 |
Descending down to Jacob's Ladder. The path on the right was just sheet ice. My route stuck to the grassy slope on the left to ensure that I stayed on my feet. |
 |
At the top of Jacob's Ladder and just dropping below the snow level. |

Looking up Jacob's Ladder, Kinder Scout in the distance. |

Heading back across the fields and up to the road near Mam Tor, and the National trust car park. |
