New Years Eve hike around Stanhope Common


Todays hike was from Stanhope, our normal loop in some of the best conditions so far this winter. The sun was blazing away and the temperature was hovering around minus 1 to 2 degrees. Most of the route was frozen apart from a few sections deep into the woods. There was not much snow left and what was left, there was plenty of traction for my boots. It was lovely and quiet and I only seen another two people until I got beck down and into Stanhope. I covered just over 5 miles in 1 hour 44 minutes with 550ft of climbing. The chippy was open in the market place so had sausage and chips for my dinner sat on the bench watching the world go by. Below are a few snaps from the hike, enjoy and hopefully more soon - .
