This week I got as wet as one get in a suit without jumping into a swimming pool. Thursday 31st January was an extreme day on the weather front, water fell out of the sky, there was lightning, thunder and gale force winds. A twenty minute walk in Manchester was an extreme experience. I taught in bare feet for most of the day with shoes and socks on the radiator. By the weekend it had turned to snow.

The snake pass was closed due to a minor land slip.
It was easy to park the bike on the bridleway up to the top of the Woodhead pass
