ROAD RAGE? SNOW PROBLEM AT ALL

With the north side of the Wharfe valley basking  in glorious sunshine for yet another day (see today's photo) beyond the bridge at Ben Rhydding the roads posed  no problems at all.  I turned right having crossed the bridge and ran up to Askwith which I haven't done for years.  Roads perfectly clear except for a bit of slush in the village. Very few cars of course.Carried on to Weston village where I turned and ran 3 miles at a brisk pace back to the bridge, ending with a half mile jog. Pleased to back running at a respectable pace. Suspect the roads would have been good all the way to Otley but ran out of time to find out. Perhaps a route for a longer run over the weekend.  I did feel a couple of tweaks  in the hamstring today; probably not helped by the snow shovelling as much as the road running,

but on balance I'd rather stay on these clear roads than risk falling on the trail and suffering a fracture.    So the sun shines on the righteous of Beamsley, Langbar, Middleton, Denton and Askwith but it's still another world on our side of the valley! Little or no sign of a thaw with the sun not reaching high enough to clear the moor.     These icicles have formed as water coming out of the soffit vents has trickled down and frozen. The longest is over a metre now.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               an
