It's Seriously Deep

We didn't have to walk too far before we had the snowy countryside all to ourselves, and we could stop looking over our shoulders to see if hungry lambs were approaching and concentrate on our survival skills.

We found that navigating in the snow was quite hard as the path would be covered by snow and quite often we were the first to set paw in the lovely blanket of virgin snow, so there were no footprints to follow.


Here we see George using a bear's intuition for the right path. He could tell us, without resorting to compass or GPS, that we were on the right path, as he had cleverly worked out that where a gate is, the path must be!

Mind you, we soon found that gates are not always a blessing, especially when they attract some deep snow drifts.


This snow wall was many times bigger than us and required us to beg bootlaces from a minder's boot, to use as climbing ropes to get ourselves up.

Lots of love, the B.U. students xxx
