Oh dear, I can remember that event. Geology field trip to Forest of

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.

Amazing coincidence.

I was in the Malverns on a school geography field trip. WE were in a godforsaken Youth Hostel called 'Wilderhope Manor' The loos were outside. I had a **** out the window. There were a few inches of snow.

To be honest, the coldest I can remember feeling on a field trip was on a Geology field trip to Sheringham in early June. I don't think I can remember the sea feeling so cold here in January.
