There was still a fair amount of snow and ice on the ground.
But it was the meltwater which caused us problems. The photo below is of a ford...
Click on the photo to enlarge and you will see the ford is under 4 feet of water!
I am glad to report that we all managed to stay dry and warm for an enjoyable walk which included visits to two excellent hostelries en route.
I close by thanking Keith Hodgson for all the photos in this report. The landscape looked stunning, as you can see from the final two photos below.
