Around Malham Tarn 04/02/2009

[Chrissy]

I had driven on the road to Malham Tarn many times before in winter, and older people have told me the road would block with snow in winters of old.

But i was amazed to see the road completely blocked with a seemingly endless drift.

These Highland mooos seemed to be at home in the snow.

Yes this is the road to the Tarn.

I will have to try to get to the tarn later in the week, second thoughts looking at the forcast maybe next week.

Enjoy

lovely shots of a lovely area

does make you wonder why roads are made between hedges or walls, perhaps a new idea wou;pld be to elevate them above the surrounding area and then most snow would blow off them!

Or the Vehicle would blow off as well John.

My love of snowdrifts cost me lumber 3 and 4!

If you leap into a drift make sure it's more than waist deep otherwise your upper body carries on whilst your legs/hips are held in a vice like grip.

Result.....not good!
