Problem I found in mid Wales was drifting of snow off the fields. I failed to get to Devl's Bridge to collect a nurse and turned back on the information given by a plough driver. Then towed a 4x4 towing a golf out of a drift as I passed. Drifts were 2ft deep and building rapidly, the plough had been driving back and forth all day just trying to keep the road open. As my pick up was 4 miles off the ploughed route it was deemed preferable to leave the nurse safe at home as there was no way I was getting back out of the dip even if I got in.
Hasten to add I was in the landrover not the Volvo.
Paul.
