I realise that 'up north' there's lots of snow, but around Oxford it's less common to be able to go out for the day's walk in the white stuff. Lovely.

It's so much easier with daily walks supplemented by various multiday trail hikes. Overall data since 2019 and comparing 2024 with 2023. And it turns you into a pink unicorn as well!
