Hebden Bridge 20/1/2015

We are spending a few days with Joyce and Colin. We knew it was colder up here but we weren't prepared for snow. We missed a turning from the motorway and ended up going across the moors. We were getting a bit worried as the snow was much thicker up there. The higher we went the narrower the roads got because of the amount of snow. Thankfully, we soon began to drop down to lower levels and it was all gone by the time we arrived at Joyce and Colin's .

We went for a walk on Tuesday to Hardcaslte Crags at Hebden Bridge. The car park was thick ice which made standing up a bit difficult❄️.

The walking path was very slippery in places which made it hard to appreciate the beauty of the place as we were so busy looking at the path and avoiding the really icy rocks.

Braver than me!

                       Lots of little waterfalls

                     

         

     Lots of snow.

We went for a pub lunch afterwards. We were the only people there! The landlady came over while we were eating and said the person who was looking after the bar wasn't well and had to go home so she was going to " lock us in". Been to a few " lock ins" before but never at 1:30 in the afternoon whilst drinking tea! We could have stayed there all afternoon but as more bad weather is forecast for tonight we reluctantly drank up and came home.
