Independent Icy Pavement Protection

It’s been a cracking start to 2010. A slip on ice when walking our dog and joy, an evening spent in Casualty, a wrist in plaster and an enforced exile from winter hill walking. But, every cloud has a silver lining and no immediate change predicted for the weather means there will still be opportunities to get in the hills once the wrist heals.

I seem to remember that in the past, pavements used to be gritted. It seems progress has relieved local councils of this responsibility. Note to self – buy some cleats and declare UDI on those icy pavements
