Snow drifting

Access to the Roaches is still difficult with the road being ridges of ice now. There is a bit of drifting too which is narrowing the road in places and making passing difficult especially as some drivers even in 4x4s are too scared to deviate from the middle of the road! If you aren't confident in the snow give the Roaches a miss or park further down the road. Even the walk up the road is pretty at the moment.
Three mini buses of kids from Stanley Head Outdoor centre made it up here on Thursday. They did not stay long as it was bitterly cold but I have to take my hat off to the drivers they did very well to make it to Roaches gate.
