5) Tuesday 12th December – what a difference a week makes! Snow on Sunday 10th caused damage to trees and bushes flanking path HO1.

Plodded across the snow to the HO1 parish boundary and continued onto Pipe & Lyde path PL9. Came across the path obstruction at SO 4991 4277

8) Saturday 20th December continued north up HO8 and discovered two collapsed bushes.
