Covered in snow

This is a photograph of Britain, taken from a satellite a few days ago. It is an unusual photograph because it shows that every part of the country from the south coast of England to the north coast of Scotland is covered in snow. In recent years, many places in England have had no snow at all. But this year, the snow stretches from Lands End (in the far south west of England) to John O’Groats (in the far north east of Scotland).
People who want to raise money for a charity sometimes walk, or cycle, from Lands End to John O’Groats. They get their friends to sponsor them, that is to pay them a certain amount for each kilometer they walk. Long-time followers of Listen to English will remember Stephen Gough and Melanie Roberts, who walked naked from Lands End to John O’Groats. This winter they could ski from Lands End to John O’Groats, but it is so cold that I strongly advise them to wear clothes this time.
