Just wondering if this walk is still going ahead.Jen (who lives in Derby) text me to ask, due to more snow forecast for the weekend. Love this venue so hoping for clear roads.

As much as I would love to be there for this walk, we're going to give it a miss I'm afraid. If the weather holds and the roads are clear, I hope you all have a wonderful time at this venue and can't wait to see the piccies x

It’s just started snowing here – again – and the roads are still very icy. I’m going to give the walk a miss as my driving is very poor even in the best conditions! I hope those who brave it have a great time and manage to grab some pics

Don't think I'll risk it either as never sure if I'll be able to get back up the hill to my house.

After dithering for most of the day, we've decided to give it a miss.It's thawing here and my wellie is leaking. ;D ;D The sky looks full of snow though and it keeps trying again.Really disappointed as I love this venue and keep missing it. , but I don't have to do the driving.Enjoy if you decide to go.

Hope anyone who turned up enjoyed the walk. It has been snowing a lot here and we decided it just wasn't worth the risk of driving.

A few of us did make it on the walk. Not sure if anyone took any pics? We didn't I'm afraid Pennie did really well, bless her! She was a little nervous at first and we had to take baby steps towards the group but she was happy in the middle of everyone else by the end

There were a few brave souls who enjoyed the walk. The carpark was abit slippy but the roads were all ok. However a few of us let the dogs off at the end for a run about only to find that under the snow on the field was ice and after a couple of sliding tumbles the dogs decieded that sedate was more the order of the day. Unfortunatly I forgot to take my shiny new camera that I got for christmas so no pics - Soz
A lovely venue and Blossom and I will be going back when the spring comes.
