I've waited for years to do this walk in the snow and it didn't disappoint. 

It was still dark when I parked up on Back Lane and the black ice underfoot was dreadful. I thought about turning round and going home but decided to press on. I was in two minds whether to take my tripod but thought my stout stick, or rather crook, would be more use in these conditions. Rather than ramble on this time, I'll just let the pictures do the talking. By the way, despite what you may think, these are all colour images, not monochrome.
