Gill – I have only used the Dale Road into the village this week, prefering to go out on the Alsop road since some of the hills have compacted ice (like around Townhead). My car is useless on anything icy going uphill so I wont chance it. If you have rear wheel drive with a poky engine and fat tyres I wouldn’t go out on the Dale Road but the Alsop road is fine.

Thanks graham. I used the alsop road which was fine. My car has huge fat tyres and so is quite useless in snow. Maybe I should invest in 4wd.
