Well it has been a busy weekend. Yesterday was a trip to the supermarket at 7am for our big monthly food shop, then it was back home and unloaded. Then it was a trip through to Willington for Mark Sawkin's to check the tracking on the new car. Whilst he did that we went out a hike in the freezing cold, overcast and windy weather. We went up the new estate road which is like a drag strip then turned left onto the old railway down to Coop then left gain and followed the footpath all the way back to the old garage then turned left again and back to Marks. All in just over 2 miles in 36 minutes. The car was ready and off home went. Once back home we washed and dried the car, washed Angus's van then it was time to thaw out and have some tea!
This morning there was a beautiful morning sun rise with a good dusting of snow and ice. After Jane get a couple of things from Gilesgate we popped over to Shincliffe to park up and have a walk over to the crem. All the trails are still up the eyes in deep mud but most parts where the mud was not too deep was frozen. We did a different route on the way back to Shincliffe and we covered 5 miles in 1hr 49 mins. Once back at the van we called in past Coffee @ Chesneys for a well deserved takeaway hot drink & cake. Below are a few snaps from the hike, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
