More Mendip snow - Jan 13 - Stockhill

There was yet more snow later in January, again it was touch and go if we could get to our start point, but we'd chosen well and it was fine. More snow had fallen so in most places we were walking in virgin snow.

Our walk started by leaving the woods to cross some fields. The snow was soft and deep, very tiring. Breaking trail across the fields took ages and it was a relief to meet Durston Drove.

Car park










We walked to Ebor Gorge




There wasn't so much snow lower down


Some of the roads higher up were pretty icy. We didn't drive on this one but watched lots of people struggling as we were out walking


We had a stop in the Hunters pub for a warm by the fire and a snack. We were soon back in the woods for a snowball fight or two and a wander before we headed some.







Snowball fight loser!





It was an awesome day of fresh snow, we were very lucky as there was a big thaw the following day and all the snow melted. How lucky with to see Narnia for a short while.
