A welcome appearance by a man in a small lorry with a shovel and a cargo of grit meant that we finally got the car out on Friday and ventured gingerly into Keswick. The first mile along our country lanes was quite hairy as I'm not a great fan of going sideways in a car, but we survived the trip, replenished food supplies and I purchased new walking boots and trousers for my 2010 project.
