The Meanderthals

READERS LETTERS

On opening the blog and discovering we had cancelled because of the bad weather several readers wrote in offering advice. Below are a few extracts :-

Dear Sirs,

As well as carefully checking the weather forecast before going on your walks it is always wise to check the skies during the day as conditions can change very rapidly

Dearest Meanderthals

Please be very careful walking in these dreadful conditions. With fields full of slippery mud and icy conditions on the footpaths accidents are almost inevitable. Take care of yourselves and do, particularly, look after your oldest member.

Hi Lads

With the rivers and streams swollen to capacity steer well clear of fords. Bridges, too,  should  be treated with extreme caution as foundations can be damaged by the power of flood water.
