You should be even more concerned about going out on your own

Stuck anywhere with no help is bad, stuck in the snow is not funny.
OO er I sound all concerned

sorry

Ah ha, you see how easy it is

Chuck some old carpet in the back of your truck, handy for putting under skidding wheels for getting un-stuck with or without help

Make the most of it as the Peak District are trying to close the green lanes to 4x4 trucks.
