Jon comments "you could see that the snow was there, layering the tops, even if it wasn't in full-thickness wedding cake proportions."
No, For that he should have visited the dark peaks last week !
First snow of the year, And i had fortunately promised my daughter i would take her out walking a couple of days beforehand (Yeh, Like i wouldn't have gone anyway :-) !)
It turned out to be a great day, And at the top of woodhead pass there was around 4-5 inch of the white stuff,
I do hope this isn't just a flash in the pan !

Ha! I live in the Dark Peak, or on the edge of it anyway. First snow of the winter and we were riding mountain bikes on Mam Tor Ridge / Edale / Ladybower. Mam Tor from below - Castleton side - looked barking mad, like something out of the alps. There was a fair amount of snow in the Lakes btw, but still rocks poking through all over the place.

It's been snowing again here this morning, not much so far mind, but it's got that grey, snow-laden feel to the sky.

I just hope the roads are clear for my journey home. A mountain bike with slick tyres is not the easiest of things to control in the snow!!!!

Hmmmm.... Snowman.... That's an idea. I've got Shepherds Bush Green just outside my window.

Connex are still rubbish!

But they DID send me a letter in November, along with £15 worth of vouchers to apologise for the trains being rubbish after the storms and stuff.

Anyway, back to striding edge.....
