:-/A little was floating around in Immingham this morning @ 03:30/04:00 when 2 of us left for Millom.(Cumbria) All fine until we hit the B5092 ( Greenod to Millom ). No snow but running water from yesterday had frozen/slushed. The aforementioned B5092 is 16miles long & in an artic with 25+ tonne takes 45 mins to drive on a good day.
The gradients are steep either way & narrow to say the least. Going down Grizebeck was the scariest 5mph i've ever done & getting up some of the others is dodgy with all the weight pulling you back & taking weight off the drive wheels. Downhill... if it lets go @ 5mph you can't do much 'coz if the trailer takes an angle it pushes the unit where it wants. Uphill, hope no cars dither in front of you. If you have to stop getting going again is a problem. No impacts today but 1 landy, 1 plastic 4x4 & 2 cars found fields /dry stone walls all by themselves!
Sorry for long post but 3 of us are off again tomorow!!!
