- Osmaston - Wyaston - Home
We
had snow yesterday and during the night but it
did not amount to too much. Today was a lovely
sunny start to the day and so I decided to walk
from home to Osmaston. It was certainly a cold
one. Very few walkers were around which was quite
surprising as it was such a nice day and also
so soon after christmas. I walked to Osmaston
via Osmaston Lane End and the Peak Gateway Caravan
Park. The pond in Osmason was partially frozen
but two ducks had decided that it was good enough
for them. The snow made the village look very
pretty but the sun was low and therefore cast
many shadows. On my way to Wyaston several dark
clouds filled the sky but soon cleared to leave
a sunny and cold day once more. Towards the end
of the walk I had good views across to the Weaver
Hills. That will be a walk another day.
