 | Thursday | First run of this route, meant to do Pen Hill Dursdon Drove but completely lost in fog on descent to Lower Milton, well on way to Wookey Hole before realising where I was. Very dark night, thick fog, also difficulty around trees at Rookham. Completely dark at the top, thick fog, no lights visible. Quite mild, snow very wet.

 | Saturday | First run of this route, largely because heavy snow made the going very hard and footpaths from East Water looked heavy going. Bitterly cold day, ground frozen with much snow. Many snow drifts, took to fields on West Mendip Way. Huge drifts on Dursdon Drove. Arrived at Ebbor Gorge at sunset, everything covered in snow, truly mellow. Dusk on return, very tired. Shoelaces frozen solid.

 | Thursday | Heroic attempt. Much snow, and temperature falling rapidly. Starlit night. Pavements slippery then frozen streams on ascent to Pen Hill. Well over knee deep snow drifts over fields - up to the stone walls on fenced footpath to the west of the mast, exhausted by the time I got back on the field, then yet more drifts. Forced on over Rookham, still more drifts. Bitterly cold wind on the top, more sheltered on descent. Footpath down to Ash Lane compacted icy snow.
07 January 2010 | Pen Hill Dursdon Drove (20) | 6.5
|
 | Wednesday | Very heavy snow today, almost did not go out at all, then planned run around Blue School but decided to try this route after I started. Very slow, slippery and compacted snow. Very cold but not a bitter frost. Heavy snow throughout, especially on footpaths, but several other footprints so I was not the only one out. Probably the slowest I have ever done this route.
