I set for home around 4pm from Kingsclere, Hampshire on the A339, The snow had made the road to Basingstoke extremely difficult to travel due to very steep hills and snow. I crawled along for a couple of hours then it came to a stop. So i Decided to go the long way round to Headley , Greenham Common then Newbury via A339. This Time-lapse footage shows the high and lows of part of my journey from Headley to Newbury.
