There is some disgruntlement among the residents over this headline! They have asked me to make clear, we arrived before the weather warning began and have not moved since! These guys have not attempted to travel, which is precisely why everyone is still here! No ignoring has happened!

Showing -4C tonight. Hope your tyres are as good as their promotion suggests. Safe travels.

We're hoping to get out today and we're getting everything ready in case the snow plough can get through. I'm not confident we'll make it out, in all honesty. Even if the snow plough comes, the roads are very steep and won't have been gritted

Here's the final instalment. Thanks so much to everyone for your kind words and following along. It has been one of the most intense reporting experiences for quite some time (the only moments alone were in the bathroom!) but it was also one of the most memorable https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/07/living-the-dream-snowed-in-at-britains-highest-pub-strangers-became-friends
