Goyt Valley today...
As you do, when it snows, you go to the Goyt. 8) It was pretty difficult to get into the valley today, maybe because I had the road tyres on, or perhaps because the snow was all fresh, but the D3 was sure footed all the way
There is a lot of snow up there, I reckon about 6 inches, blowing around too.
Once in the valley, it was deserted, not a soul. Only saw a Toyota LC and a couple of RR classics, and two Series Land Rovers all afternoon.
Kids had great time snow boarding, and the dog was in heaven!
I have some photos to sort through. Will post them up soon.

Did think about a trip out there this afternoon...
Having plenty of fun just between here and Hazel Grove though - council seems to have run out of grit round our way - and the great unwashed seem to have run out of common sense Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
Really wanted to get out there today... but since I'd managed to pull my gear stick out of the gearbox, I was stranded at home. Sorted now, so tomorrow...
