Heart of Ice

Box Hill was my "stop off" point today on the way home.  Having stopped at the top I of the hill, I decided to take the 2mile, 1.5hour "Stepping Stone" walk with its 267 steps down to the River Mole, and its over 200m slog up hill back up to the summit. 

At the bottom I chickened out of crossing the river via the stepping stones (extra) and instead spent time taking macro shots of some icy puddles before walking along the bankside to the easier safer bridge crossing.
