Default Boltshope Park snow

The pictures were taken on Boltshope Park. This is a small area of
improved pasture in the Durham Dales, North Pennines, near Bolts Law. It
contains a handful of houses. The nearest settlement on a roadmap would be
Hunstanworth (near Blanchland) about a mile away though Townfield would
show on a 1:50K OS map.

Thanks for the background, Colin. Can you tell us who
runs the met station, and whether there was a particular
reason for its installation. It is, I believe, the highest met
recording site in the UK in a populated area.
