On Sunday 24/2/02 we went for our first hike of the year near to Errwood Reservoir in The Peak District. The weather forecast was not too good, but we went anyway. The area had a light covering of snow, but nothing to be concerned about. However, when we started climbing the hill, it started to snow quite heavily. After a while the visibility was getting poor so we had to change our plans and move back to lower ground.

All this did not detract from the walk and everyone had a great time especially as we could have on-going snowball fights!
