Dryathlon day 14: The depths of winter
We woke this morning to find a light sprinkling of snow on the ground but not enough to close any schools – much to my daughter’s disappointment – nor to hamper my morning walk! Togged up in snow boots, leg warmers, woolly hat and my down jacket I set off with my friend Sue to…

Into the mist

Dryathon day 8: Back on track
