"OK, who left the gate open again"?

Continuing the saga of our tangle with "The Beast from the East" in February/March 2018...
This was one of the main reasons we were stranded - a huge snowdrift completely blocked the farm road, and the only access to the village below. Forget soft fluffy snow - this was rock-hard ice.
We were eventually 'freed' by a local farmer and his tractor

Above Wensleydale

We were trekking up to Ten End above Gayle and Hawes, on the Pennine Way, and were able to see 'The Beast from the East' approaching, and sending snowstorms through the countryside. (Feb 2018)

The day 'The Beast from the East' rolled in.
We had trekked up to Ten End on the Pennine Way, above Gayle and Hawes and watched the snow storms blow in down the Dale

Z50_0323 - A Winter's Tale...

Maybe an idyllic winter view of Wensleydale, but there is a backstory...
We had holidayed at the farm for years - several times a year. It suited us and the dogs - away from it all; no near neighbours, miles out of the nearest village; surrounded by fields for the dogs to wander in and chase the many rabbits. Unfortunately, however, the remoteness of the farm was also our downfall
The photo was taken the day after The Beast from the East struck in late February 2018, and we were 'snowed-in'. The lane leading down to Gayle was impassable, with 8-foot high drifts blocking the way. The owner of the farm as on holiday abroad. The farm road was considered as Private, and so was off the route of the council gritters etc. We were marooned.
A local farmer eventually dug us out, using his tractor, with his wife shovelling rock salt out of the bucket at the front of the tractor. The melting snow froze over every night
Eventually, the farm road was considered clear and 'safe', but I will always remember the farmer's advice as we set off - "stick it in first and close your eyes"
