January 7, 2025,Snowy long mynd

Lots of snow on the mynd today made for hard pedaling,after the initial climb it turned into a blizzard hitting me side on as I rode across the top towards the glider station, but it was all good fun, was very quiet aswell with no cars on the top and only a few hikers
