For all those Geocachers there are at least two in the area  ;D

One in the car park and one at the summit; perfect  :D

Looks to be dry and windy

There's a joke in there somewhere  :D

If it stays reasonably dry I'll be happier. Nothing worse than wet kids  :o

I'm going to have to back out of this one  :'(

Bags are packed and ready to go but I think the weather's scuppered us  :-\

Definitely up to try again though, maybe this weekend if the weather's better  ;D

Sorry all  :(

It's not very often I would say this but I am glad I am working and not out in the hills. The weather is terrible.
