I was up in the hills today on the pushbike again, absolutely fantastic... Got some fresh snow fall as well, which is ideal as it's nice and soft to fall off into.
The best bit was, after riding 20 miles on snow and ice, I found an old boy trying to take his dog for a walk on one of the icy paths. "Watch out son", he says, "The bloody council haven't gritted it". It's an earth footpath up a hill in the middle of nowhere, about 4 miles from any tarmac! Maybe they could attach grit dispensers to the backs of ramblers, or something.
Got a bit stuck at times
