I would like to thank everyone for their words of advice, I have been talking with my mates about our trip to BN. We have already started some training, but have also decided that we will make a decision on the route when we get there. If conditions are bad we will take the pony track. We still want to do the CMD as the whole point of going is that it will be a challenge! Having said that we have familys at home and we dont want to take any risks. Cramp ons and ice axes are out of the question as my budget will not run to it at this point (Divorce would insue). We will be taking the kit recomeded by some of you and the chances are the pony track will be the best bet. Thanks once again.
