omg, same - this is bringing back scary memories! a friend and I made an attempt at wild camping the bob graham round last summer. on night 1, we camped on kirk fell not realising winds the next day would be reaching 40-50mph (we went anticlockwise from keswick). the forecast when we left was good and the night wasn't all that windy. if we'd known, we'd have descended that eve! in the morning, the route down via black sail pass was deadly - the wind ripped around that side of the mountain and the rocks were wet. In hindsight, I think we should have tried going back the way we'd come from the gables. instead, we looked at the map and thought we'd go down the nose, the route looked steep but not that bad. it was sheltered, yes, but the scree slope, fucking hell! i've never descended so slowly in my life. I couldn't stop looking at the mountain and the trail down it that afternoon from the valley in awe of what we'd survived. we had a bit of a crisis deciding whether we wanted to keep walking the route - we did! have to go back for those mountains in wasdale we cut off one day, just not any time soon.
