Thanks for all your kind comments, you are right Gary I think I have spoken too soon as there is supposed to be snow and very cold temperatures blowing in from the East at the end of this week, that will teach me! Timing is not good as I am off to Ireland on Friday - just hope I get there! As said above, snow is fine if you have nowhere to go!

PS can I ask what phone took such great pictures? The reason is, I've got a Satio especially for its picture taking, but am having to have it replaced today as its faulty. If this one goes the same way (there is a software problem apparently), anything that can take pictures like those would be great for me.
Cheryl, I am not sure what phone it is I will check it when my Son gets home from school, he is currently using mine as his one has broken so I said he can use it until his new one arrives for Christmas (he claims he needs it more than me....back to the teenager thread I am not sure boys are any easier than girls!).

Jan I would steer clear of Harwood as they heavily foresting up there at the moment and it can be quite lethal when the wagons are back and forth collecting the logs. Weekends are ok although they do sometimes work on a Saturday too, in the first picture above all the trees to the left are currently being felled so we can only walk on this bit at the weekend and then the track is like a mud bath. It is also time to cull the deer so again you have to keep an eye out for shooters, and to top it all the odd hunt sometimes loses its way and you end up with a pack of foxhounds running through the forest causing havoc! The best time to go up is definitely in the spring/summer months, it does seem a lot quieter although I was speaking to the Head Forester the other week and he was saying a lot of the trees are due to be felled so I am not sure if we are going to be able to walk up there much longer. We have started to go back to Thrunton for safety reasons as Harwood is a working forest and when they start to fell big time it can be dangerous for the dogs.
