A snowy nightmare!

[golfyste]

Me and a few friends went to a cafe in the peak on the morning of Friday the 22nd...then went for a little walk...nice little place



On the way back had I stop a couple of times to dig the car out due I the snow getting worse!


Then came down a road to this!



Yes there is two cars there!
The snow was drifting really bad and to cut it short we got the car turned around but couldn't get off the road so had to abandon the car.

Couple of 4x4's give us a left to a nearby pub
Can to pick the car up a day later and was met with this....



The whole road for 500m was 4-8foot under snow 

Spent a pod while digging over the next few days!



Went back in Thursday after reporting to council/highways as we met a guy who lived on the road and couldn't get to his house!
As a jcb had been down 





Did some more digging!


And hallelujah!

Bloody hell mate! I bet that was frightening? Glad someone picked you up cos that could've been a lot worse! Glad the golf survived as well.

I wasn't really scared as such but the mrs was sh**ing it 

The nearest pub was only about 2 miles away and we were dressed warm so would have been ok as soon as we walked out of the drift...(snow was only 2" deep 500m away but 12" where the car was!)

I blame the fiat driver! We turned left at a junction and got a little stuck on a tiny drift... A fiat panda 4x4 came down the hill as and said "you'll never get up there" so we followed him down the hill and were net with the two abandoned cars and he managed to get out and we didn't haha
Turns out we would hae easily got up the hill after that first little drift we got stuck on!
So it's all his fault 
It's all ok apart from when I first got in there was a nice thick layer of ice on the discs!
