Walk Detail: Considering how many times I've been up to Brimham Rocks in my life it is quite surprising that I've never seen it with snow about. This added an extra element of interest as we spent a lot of the time playing hide and seek with Rhiannon.

This mostly consisted of Rhiannon and I hiding while Lisa came to find us. Rhiannon thought it was all great fun, even more so when she discovered the delights of handling and throwing snow. She discovered an especial thrill for throwing snow at her daddy's balding head.

To be truthful we tired out a long time before Rhiannon did and she didn't really want to go. We'd all had a great time though and it was especially gratifying when Rhiannon said she'd like to go back to 'the Rocks' soon.
