A short walk taking in
Jubilee Tower, Sunnyhurst Wood and Roddlesworth
Reservoir. A sunny day was forecast and while it wasn't
as bad as previous days, there was still a cold blustery
wind at Jubilee Tower. After walking through the woods I
was surprised to find snowdrifts blocking the track en
route to Tockholes Plantation. However these were easily
overcome and a simple walk through Tockholes Plantations
soon brought me back to the car. |

The snow drift is no problem at first . . .
but as I proceed along the track . . .
it becomes more extensive
Not one boat . . .
