A Couple Weekends ago, decided to Recce a location for our first Wildcamp.
We set off from home in clothes to stay warm. However we did not anticipate any snow!
Here's a few photos from the day.
We Started seeing snow on the hills in the distance...
It Soon started getting a lot thicker!
We knew soon we were going to have to leave the car and carry on, on foot!
Probably a good job we did!
The view was great over the top of the woods.
The small stream we had to cross to enter the woods.
Stopped for a quick snack under some cover!

. It always impresses me how quickly a snowstorm can become a near white-out, especially up in the hills and mountains. The high winds whip the snow all around you, and when visibility goes to níl, you be smart to stop and dig in until it passes. Even without falling snow, if the winds are strong enough, any snow on the ground can be swept in the air to greatly reduce visibility...Mount Washington is famous for that, I believe the record wind speed was 372 kmh/231mph which occurred in 1934. Of course, this was a gust - average wind speeds almost always top 161 kmh/100mph
