Friday 13th July 2001 – 8.03am
An unlucky day? If I can make an early start perhaps I can get further through the day before anything bad happens? Today is that bit calmer still, with the wind still from out of west-northwest but much less aggressive. The day is overcast with clouds filling the sky - each cloud nuzzling up to another and the whole group bustling and jostling as they cross over Black Combe.
