Tough climb

 Yours truly has been to the summit of the bonsai mountain countless times

 and so with this thick layer of white stuff

 it would be rude

 not to make a summit attempt

 once all the fun and games had been done

 and jobs finished.

 Which is why yours truly plus K9's are struggling in waist deep snow 50 metres from the summit.

 The plan was to make it to watch the sun set

 but the snow had other ideas.

 This is the border between the shire and Wales

 and Rio shows how deep it is getting.

 Across the shire the sun set glowing

 but the snow is now almost 3 foot deep and powder quality meaning you have to wade through

 The final section to the summit almost finished me but I was not going to admit defeat and managed to dig my way to the top.

20 minutes late, but job done.
