In '63, I was studying in Liverpool and travelling home to S.Derbys at
weekends in a Mini..
I used to pick different routes depending on weather - and recall taking the
'Cat & Fiddle' road often to encounter incredible snow scenes. Got stuck
once only and ended up playing cards in the back of a van with others
similarly immobile. Another nearby van was supplying hot bacon butties - a
memorable occasion - but I wouldn't do it now - wisdom? - not sure about
that - more likely cowardice!

Guess I'm a little less brave/stupid now.
Is it lack of bravery or an increase in the wisdom that comes with age?
50 years ago I would drive long distances in poor conditions without even
thinking
about it. Today I think too much about it.
