I've had a few queries about Sunday so I'll try and cover them here;

1. 'Isn't it a bit snowy to go riding?' -

I'm aware it's been snowing but, as usual, we'll adapt/improvise. I've been working in Skipton today and there's about 6" snow on the fields and some on the tracks. It'll be different but wrap up warm and don't turn up on slicks. We'll keep warm with some hills and hit a Cafe afterwards.

2. 'What's the weather forecast?' - v.cold and more snow! See 1.

3. 'Won't we get lost/have trouble finding the tracks?' - I've got a birthday on Monday so no intention of getting lost. Follow me!

4. 'What's it like riding in the snow?' - Great fun!

Seriously, we'll be fine. Pack lots of warm stuff and a bit of food, and a camera as it looks fab out there. Bolton Abbey Station have allowed us to park in their Car Park so long as there's no more than 4/5 cars so please double up in cars. When you arrive park to the left near the old carriages.

See you Sunday.

I think it'll be similar to last month, perhaps a bit colder but not quite as hilly.
Just make sure the boys are well wrapped up.

Hi,

Very snowy up here (Fridaythorpe) at the moment, forecast is for ice and snow tomorrow. Not sure if I'll make it looking at the weater conditions outside my window, if I'm not there by 10.30am don't hang around for me as I won't be coming.
