Sometimes; discretion is the better part of ...
Didn't seem too bad setting off, a small amount of rain but all OK. BUT, crossing the cattle grid on Pork Hill the world changed. Lots of snow and all looking a bit slippy. Parked up at the car park with the wind really howling and the donutters out a change of plan seemed advisable. So down to the Whitty where all was nice. Out along to Middlemoor and up the ancient track. A lot to read as it seems there has been a problem with access - all resolved now. To Shorts Down, where the wind was rather brisk, and across Plasterdown. Plenty of vehicles heading up Peek and Pork Hill with plenty of orange lights - gritters and recovery vehicles I guess. Warrens Cross and onto the golf course. Nice going to finally reach The Pimple and a bit of shelter. Down and back. The Whitty is closed for a couple of weeks; gone to seek sunshine probably. So into Tavi to the ever reliable Spoons and the usual competition to buy a round. Actually made rather a nice evening walk to welcome in 2025.
