Nent Valley Snow Trip

Charlie had been harking on and on about giving his landrover a go in the snow, as we where visiting Nenthead and the forecast was snow and more snow. After a day of mining, the next day with Nenthead still covered in ridiculous amounts of snow and the sun shining, how could you go underground? Instead we went on a over ground trip up the Nent Valley right up to Perry's Dam on top of the moor in Charlie's landrover. Spades at the ready.
