Bonus Snow Walk 20th Jan

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow….
It was hard to resist getting out in the snow round here in Broadway last Sunday. There had already been quite a bit of snow the day before and then on Sunday it came down really heavily. Sadly I didn’t have anything arranged for this weekend and Jane didn’t seem to have the same problem resisting getting out in it! So whilst she stayed in with the heating on full whack I got out and about.

It wasn’t actually that cold and because it was still settling it was easy to walk in. I walked straight from the front door up to the High Street and then right to the top and beyond towards Fish Hill.
It was lovely and peaceful with hardly anyone else about -just a few excited sledgers being dropped off in a Rangerover to enjoy the snowy slopes. So very Broadway.
I then walked back through the village popping into Landmark to purchase a Leki walking pole. I basically then wandered around the village and the lanes beyond towards Snowshill enjoying the solitude. The snow was really quite deep in parts and my walking pole proved to be a good investment.

All in all it turned out that by the time I got back I’d walked about 4.5 miles but you’ll see that I have called this a bonus walk as, of course, I didn’t have anyone else with me and despite the fact that I talked to myself a bit about what a lovely walking pole I’d bought- that can’t really count.
So it’s a bonus walk and thoroughly enjoyable it was too.
