From the sound of it you need caterpillar tracks. And if it's sunny the Remergence wall could be like a microwave.

BTW, Staffs area is generally easy to get to and less snowy.

it's just shit out there in burb..... god knows about stanage plantation...... for what it's worth burb west is looking wank... go to where the other guys on here have found access and conditions. I know it sounds a bit over inflated but it really is a different world out there at burb and stanage near end. you'll waste yr day......honest!!

Once you realise how much Jim's car actually cost you will know that it won't need caterpillar tracks just to negiote a poxy two mile stretch of 6" thick sheet ice.  

Jim.  Was down at Robin Hood's Stride yesterday and it was absolutely mint.  If it's anything like that tomorrow you'll be laughing all the way up T-Crack, kissing your hams as you go.  You out Friday as well?  Finish my course tomorrow.  I'll get down the Jobcentre with the enigma and then sack it to the peak.  You knows it.

I was at Mothercap yesterday, good conditions dry and out of the wind on the Conan the librarian side. Trudged to burbage after. everything icy and too much snow. guess stanage will be the same.
