We'll let Jon enjoy his well earned retirement after 16 years & 778 ascents but Wes & Zac will be back for the first snows of next winter Have a grand summer of adventures 😎 #summitsafely
A mixture of old snow, fresh snow, rime ice and small thawing cornices on the east face of #Helvellyn Keep checking the forecasts and ensure you have the right clothing, equipment & skills for the conditions #beadventuresmart Zac
Winter still holding on on the highest summits. A dusting of new snow & rime ice above 850m on #Helvellyn and some more flurries forecast for this week #summitsafely #beadventuresmart Zac
Introducing the Lake District’s latest innovation for nature lovers: ‘E-Sheep’! 🐑💡 As part of our new eco-friendly initiative, we’re tagging our local Herdwick sheep with LED lights to help hikers navigate the fells safely at night. Starting April 1st, follow the glowing flock…
There's an updated Fell Top Conditions Report based on today (Easter Sunday's) observations from #Helvellyn at: lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk 📸 the remaining snow cover on the east face of Helvellyn
Still a hint of winter on the mountains & potential for more snowfall next week so please keep checking the #lakedistrictweatherline & make sure you have the correct clothing, equipment & skills for your adventure #beadventuresmart Zac
Busy busy busy 🙂 Plenty of folk out enjoying a spectacular Easter Sunday on the #lakedistrict fells. Parking was an issue around the more popular mountains. Worth exploring other mountains, different times of day or modes of transport? #summitsafely Zac
Still a few tricky patches of snow on the exit to #swirraledge on #Helvellyn but the vast majority of the fells & popular paths are now clear of snow #summitsafely Zac
There's an updated Fell Top Conditions Report based on today (Saturday's) observations from #Helvellyn at: lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk 📸 #purplesaxifrage coming into bloom in a quiet corner of Helvellyn
The usually long lasting #browncovesnowpatch looking a bit sorry for itself after a relatively warm & wet winter #snowsurvey Zac
A stunning & atmospheric day on #Helvellyn Plenty of folk out and about enjoying the sunshine & extensive views although a chilly wind kept everyone moving #summitsafely #beadventuresmart Zac
Still some snow on the N flanks of #catstycam & #swirraledge. Enough that there is a possibility of a long slide if you slip in the wrong place Carrying #microspikes still recommended for the #HelvellynEdges #summitsafely #beadventuresmart Zac
Today's 20kg wombling haul from #Helvellyn included 3 tents, rucksack covers, gloves, torches, water bottles, microspikes, dry bags & a 40' non collapsing tent pole! ☹️ Please #leavenotrace This includes taking orange peel & banana skins with you. Zac
There's an updated Fell Top Conditions Report based on today (Friday’s) observations from High Spy at: lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk
Helvellyn's summit plateau was bare rock and patches of snow. This snow was wet but very close to freezing. Hence, although not required here today, microspikes are a sensible addition to your rucksack if ascending the highest peaks on Good Friday. Jon
Fell Top Assessor Jon hangs up his Lake District boots lakedistrict.gov.uk/aboutus/media-…
Today was my 778th ascent of Helvellyn for the National Park & last day as an Assessor; to celebrate the cloud lifted as I climbed the headwall! Thanks very much to everyone for your kind words both written & in person & I look forward to meeting you on the fells in future. Jon
Fresh snow overnight & this morning above 750m adding approx 2cm to average depth at 900m. The crest of Striding Edge, shown here, was mostly bare, damp rock with some soft snow. On its slopes noticeably more snow on the northern side compared with the south facing aspects. Jon
There's an updated Fell Top Ground Conditions Report based on today (Wednesday)'s observations at lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk where the Lake District's weather forecast for the next 5 days will be updated at c6pm. Catstye Cam & northern slopes of Swirral Edge from near Lower Man. Jon

Some useful information from @wasdalemrt after a recent spate of rescues from #piersgill Take care when descending the Corridor Route on #scafellpike not to head down into the obvious canyon but looks for the easy scramble back up onto the path wmrt.org.uk
If you’re planning on Scafell Pike via the corridor route, please check out the following post from @wasdalemrt wmrt.org.uk/advice/acciden… Accidentally attempting to navigate Piers Gill could put your life at risk. There are increasing amounts of life threatening accidents…
@LakesWeather I must have been on Bleaberry Fell about 3 hours before you today!
@LakesWeather I'm on the train. Thanks for the warning.
@LakesWeather Up at Red Tarn this morning, beautiful start to a day Zac. Thanks for the work you guys do👍👏👏
@LakesWeather Ace photos showing why navigating matters!
Beautiful Helvellyn
Magical summit views from #Helvellyn on another spectacular winters day. Crampons / microspikes & an ice axe essential for anyone venturing above the snowline as even the easiest paths are becoming icy #summitsafely #beadventuresmart Zac
Loch Avon and Beinn Mheadhoin today. @TGOMagazine #Cairngorms
@theiaincameron Aye 👍 Well, that was my point without being clear to be fair. Winter ain’t over yet. Some more cold is set soon but only on the high ground by my reckoning. Even so, in my view I can see the subtle changes happening now that are more obvious elsewhere in world re two words.
@theiaincameron There’s a couple on North Pennines too. Dunno if that helps? They appear bigger too. It’s often colder my way in Eden Valley than Lakeland.
As Zac says, this is one of England's longest lasting patches of snow. To see it reduced to this sorry state in February is quite shocking. Remarkably, Boris Johnson's uncle, Peter, used to keep tabs on this patch before he passed away, and correspond with me about it.
Even the long lasting #browncove snow patch (just below the col) is looking very sorry for itself. Frequently the last patch of snow to thaw in England but that could be very soon with the current conditions ☹️ Zac
@LakesWeather Snow is set to return soon, Zac. On tops at least.
@LakesWeather Brilliant course many thanks zac, I learnt many new skills today. Brian
@LakesWeather I managed to record 70 kph on Gowbarrow
Well our poll of the day lasted long.... Kinlochewe has recorded 19.2C today, making it provisionally a new UK maximum temperature record for January and a new winter record (Dec-Feb) for Scotland 🌡️
With 17 Celsius already recorded in the UK today, do you know what the record is for January❓❓ Go on... have a guess and share with friends too! Bonus points if you can reply with where and when (hint, it is more than one place!!) 👇
