Well I’m not sure this was a good idea but we managed to get back home without incident. Apparently the authorities are complaining that people didn’t heed the warnings issued and still went out shopping / partying / camping / all of these....


Ok, camp set up and Pom-Bears distributed....


....according to the old-girl on reception, this is an adult-only site


Hmmm, this snow they’ve been banging on about on the forecasts seems a bit dramatic....


....looks to be ok in the Peak District.....


....wait a minute....


....it’s getting thin....


“Is it cold?”


Better light the barbie....


Hmmmm, toasty!!




Don’t know what you lot are moaning about outside, it’s lovely in here!!


Several hours later – better have a peek outside – Whoops!! O_O




Oh well, if the butane bottle won’t vaporise enough liquid to do the bacon & eggs....


....I’ll settle for Pot Noodle for a “Breakfast-in-Bed for Champions”!!


Frozen Margarita anyone?


Anyone care for a seat?












Snow Angels anyone?














Aha, another volunteer










Team Muz prototype snow-depth gauge


Better make a snowman then!!

Some nice shots there, I didn't see any Heland Coos, only horses bleating about someone having hidden all their grass

Cracking pics and a good night even though we were in bed by 8pm due to the adverse weather conditions

Must be crazy camping in that... honestly Paul, you do rope us into some crazy meets
