Snow.

This isn't the blip I expected to have.  We noticed that the Alaskan Malamute Club were having a rally in the forest.  Great we would go up and get some shots of the "Huskies".  For competitors the gates opened at 7:00 followed by scrutineering etc with the event starting at 9:30:

So up early ready for 9:30 ish and drive up to the forest.  The gate the competitors were entering by was closed, fair enough they had been there since 7:00.  A couple of hundred yards down the road was the car park for the forest.  Wrong!  The car park had disappeared and been replaced by a locked gate.

Unable to find out if the event was on or not we circumnavigated the forest pausing a couple of times to take photos.  This shot is from near the Eycott Hill reserve, looking towards Carrock Fell.
