13th Jan, More Snow, More Nav

My turn to take the Soldiers (SUT) out for a winter day. The snow was so deep where it had drifted, it was in places, several metres deep. All minor features were now gone - South Wales was beginning to feel a little more wild and remote. We battled through the snow and managed to do 16km before our deadline return time. The group did well with their nav.
This week the SAS selection has started in the Brecon Beacons. The traditional Fan Dance (Tour of the greater Pen y Fan horseshoe) would be more challenging than normal (with a weapon to help them, not an axe!). Best of luck..
