| For some reason we decided that our first ever experience of snow shoes should be in a Rachettata - a fun run on snow shoes! Through trial and error and watching other people we worked out how to put them on, and then you just walk on them.
|
| There were several hundred participants and prizes for the first 20 finishers. We, however, opted for the free glass of mulled wine prior to the start and just trying to finish the 6km course.

| The start!

|
| Having a rest going uphill (very hard work)
|
| Tea and biscuits at half distance... by this point we'd given up on the top 20 finish so thought we might as well relax a bit!

| Spectacular

|
| Made it! (Although after taking the photo Al ran past Rachel to ensure that he finished first... what a gentleman!!)
