Another night trip, general mouching about, looking for new tracks to investigate.

We headed north, looking at a few areas we have looked at on Google maps (satalite view), and some tracks we saw on trial wise.

We found some nice snow drifts in a lane, and just had to play! Camo did our site logo in the snow, using a maglite, and then, a little further up, Trooper1 decided to see how deep the snow was, by driving into the bank….

 

 

We crossed Gelligear Common, heading towards a few placeswe knew about. We decided to head towards Trefil Quarry.

We had a bit of a look around there, and headed to the small lake /  puddle, that had been frozen a few weeks before….

 

Camo did an ice check, and discovered that there were some……patches that were……a little thin.

That was enough for us to realise that it wouldn’t carry the weight of trooper, or HIS trooper!

We gradually headed back towards home, taking a few sights in on the way.

We had a bit of a chat on the cb on the way back too, which added to the entertainment!

A useful reccy, and more info filled in on the areas we can, and can’t go, in our area.
