The Current  weather warning has been downgrade  from High to Moderate Risk. 

Although the cold spell is easing, the risk of widespread icy surfaces with temperatures close to or below freezing at ground level continues  through the weekend

Thawing snow  will refreeze overnight in many areas, make  for hazardous travelling conditions, and extra time and care will be required if you have to travel.

Wind and rain is expected to sweep in from the west into  many areas on Saturday, and this rain combined with the thawing snow may bring a risk of localised flooding.

Currently this weather warning does not impact on the forthcoming event but with a return to colder weather predicted  before  the next walk this is a situation we are monitoring. check back regularly to see if the weather status has changed.

Updates to this  warning will be added as comments
