Crabwood - It's FFFFFFreezing

Monday 11th March 2013

We went out for a bit of fresh air this morning and fresh it most certainly was - icy cold more like.  According to the weather this morning it's the wind chill that's the problem.  We went to Crabwood, west of Winchester, where we found a quite recently released geo-cache but it was  too cold to stand around caching.  It was far too cold for walking too, so it was a quick short walk. 

Within sight of the car park there was another scene of devastation like the one we saw on Satuday in the New Forest with trees cut down all over the place.  We found great log piles further into the woods too, this was a particularly impressive log stack.

Please note the very light dusting of snow on the ground, there were odd light flurries on and off during the morning.

We also kept coming across random lengths of fencing made from willow or hazel or something!!  Some were quite impressive, here is one section that we found.

It was so cold we decided to cut the walk short and had a hot drink back at the car instead - very civilised.
