TR - My slowest 0.56km walk ever!
Jhimmy
from my house. It took me over 25 minutes to get there due to paths and
roads iced up. I had my boots on, but there was absolutely no grip. As usual
many cars were oblivious to the black ice and speed past (why do they do
it?). I returned by a longer route, but one that involved hanging onto the
neighbours fences. I think it was worse because there's a gentle shower
that's freezing as it hits the ground.
I also forgot to set the GPS ;-)
Be very careful out there and have a Merry Christmas.

Have you tried football boots with sharpened studs, Jhimmy? ;-)

We were discussing walking on ice yesterday with friends, and Matthew said
his parents used to put wool socks over the shoes/boots and it gave good
holding on ice. Not sure about using smartwool socks at their price, but
maybe modified sleeves off old woolen jumpers - must be a few in charity
shops.
