Granta Park - Winter Wonderland

This week as many people returned to work after a well deserved break the Granta Park landscape provided a scene to banish those end of holiday blues with a fall of snow providing a winter wonderland scene across the chalk meadowland and cricket pitch of the science park; a place to impress clients and motivate staff during any season!

Early warnings from the Met Office of the imminent snow meant that all the main routes to Granta Park including the M11, A14, A11 and A505 had been suitably treated and it is clear that the Granta Park cyclists braved the snowy weather (the evidence is in the picture of The Avenue!)
