Escape!

We've finally managed to drive out the valley! The roads have been pretty bad since the snow fell on Sunday morning.

Yesterday P and I left just after 11am to see how far we would get on mountain bikes to work. P was a fair bit quicker than I on the slippy, slushy, icy roads, but we both got in. It took me nearly twice as long as normal! There was a bit of traffic getting in and out but most of it was delivery vans, the coal man, the gas man and the post van! The ride home (early) was better, and much more tarmac was visible. I had a much better ride home, having thrown the toys out of the pram on the way in. It was bitterly cold, but beautiful, even in the snow showers.

This morning things were better again, and as long as you didn't venture too far off the vehicle tracks it was an easy drive to the main road. Who knows what its like to the south though! We will find out later.
