Love th...Surprised you made it as far as Cowshill.<br /><br />Love the snow but today was hard. I set off about 7 to head to Aviemore for a few days. <br /><br />Got up Billy Row bank and somehow ploughed through the very deep snow at the other side of Sunniside before deciding at Tow Law to go via the A1. <br /><br />Eventually got as far as Alnwick before getting stuck in a car park when trying to pull over for the loo. Gave up and headed home, now off to the lakes tomorrow with Phil Turner.<br /><br />Oh did you ever get to use that wood you left up above Nenthead.steven Hornerhttp://www.stevenhorner.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-19289848711851164982010-01-01T09:36:19.602+00:002010-01-01T09:36:19.602+00:00Wow!

Piglet and I are meant to be walking in the Dales next week with Colin and now I@m wondering whether we're going to be able to make any progress at all! If Bruno can't do it then Piggly stands little chance, poor mite.<br /><br />Piggly admires Bruno's coat very much. She has a new coat herself, heh :) Looks like she'll need a snowboard, though.<br /><br />Rather a nice word today = cottench.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-75718057985757868552010-01-01T09:28:14.501+00:002010-01-01T09:28:14.501+00:00Very useful report: those are exactly the conditio...Very useful report: those are exactly the conditions I was afraid of (as well as the roads), exhausting body-wrenching deep snow. A couple of years back we tried to climg Aran Benllyn in similar conditions and got about 1.5 miles and gave up. We were too exhausted to go on. It's hard to judge the hill conditions from here, there isn't so much as a flake on the Cheshire plain!.<br />Anyway good pictures, and a Happy New Year.GeoffChttp://v-g.me.uk/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-72823832007557478162010-01-01T00:35:21.840+00:002010-01-01T00:35:21.840+00:00Arf arf - Happy New Year Judith
