Pete's Walks - Kensworth and everywhere in the snow (part 2)
There were lots of people sledging on the Downs, the local schools obviously being closed. As I followed the path along the bottom of the Downs, the skies gradually clouded over. I saw a pair of Buzzards just before I reached Bison Hill (I’ve twice before seen one in this vicinity in recent weeks).

I followed the bridleway from Bison Hill to Whipsnade, and went down the old lane towards Holywell.
