The lowland paths are a bit different from hill walks where it is best to keep to one line to avoid erosion.

Not sure about that Andrew:  on the Hadrian's Wall path there are signs asking you not to keep to the same path but to spread the load in order to avoid erosion

Yes but  on the heavily trafficked areas where they have had to joggle stones into position they prefer you to keep to that line. It just goes to show that conditions vary and no one rule suits all.

Minus 5 here this morning but with a real cutting wind chilling your old bones !

Yep same -6 here with a breeze. Time to buy an alpaca wool onesie I think 😂

Minus 7 overnight. Warmed to minus 4 now and snowing. A couple more inches in total so far this morning

Had minus 10 Tuesday night , bath water froze coming out the house blocking up every thing else .. I’ve resigned myself to sitting indoors and not doing anything but getting fires going after a positive covid test and feeling like I’ve been ran over yesterday , I guess pushing my self to do three weeks straight didn’t pay off  … every machine in the yard is frozen and the chipper has done it’s crank seals and I’m convinced keeping everything running for an hour a day has made the problem worse by condensation re freezing on engines and hydraulics… looks like Christmas has started early!

I’ll be fine mate, had worse hangovers tbh , it’s just frustrating when there’s so much to do and you have to resign yourself you’re better off doing nothing for a while, hopefully it warms up over next few days and I can sort out chipper for the new years onslaught …  mewp has frozen solid any way and I don’t fancy doing any spike work n dirty big half dead ash trees feeling like this!

It could be worse. One of the retired farmers we rent pasture from has a few classic tractors and he's been using easystart on them all, everyday, to keep them warm during this freeze. Lots of blue smoke!!! He says many wouldn't start this last summer without a squirt!
