Winter Wonderland in Spring.
Totally different day today, I was going to Cumbria but the A66 was closed to snow at Brough but the sat nav diverted me to go via Alston to Penrith, bad move the roads were terrible. I got nearly as far as Hartside Cafe but there were two wagons stuck in snow in front of me just before the top, so I turned around and give it up as a bad job. Took this near Nent Hall House on the way home.
