Oh dear, I can remember that event. Geology field trip to Forest of
Dean and the Malverns. Heavy wet snow above about 300'-400' gave a
covering of several inches. All rather miserable, damp and cold.


I was in north Wales, school CCF trip camping above the Barmouth estuary.
In tents which were rubbish. Haven't used a CCF tent since, I'm happy
to say.

Have been colder though, offshore yacht racing as casual crew on the
North Sea in March.
