Deerleap Snow

Single Track Road – Deerleap, Wookey Hole, Somerset, UK. ID 825_4668

Singe Track Road

One 4×4 had made it down the steep Deerleap road from the top of the Mendip Hills in Somerset.  Just around the corner the snow was 4 foot deep but they pushed on through.  Looking up the hill winter had clearly taken grip.

The hardy sheep just keep easting.

The ancient standing stones mark the distance a deep can leap.  Perhaps just not today.
