Driver Jatt

What a daft idea!

All week I’ve been passing signs indicating the A628 (Woodhead Pass) from #Manchester to #Sheffield is best avoided as we are expecting some interesting weather.

Not a problem. It’s just a single road. There’s plenty of other roads throughout the British Isles I can drive on right?

Well….

The stars lined up, godly forces intervened and I found myself on that very road in the midst of that very storm!

It was interesting. The roads went from wet to icy slush very fast. Slush was freezing as it was falling! I could hear engines revving and wheels spinning on the ice. I had a feeling this might end up being a very long night. And I haven’t even got any food 🍲😐😭

After a very long and slow drive slipping, sliding and generally hoping not to crash over the cliff I cleared the pass and breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way back from Sheffield. I had various options as to which route to take. The sensible thing to do would would be to use the motorway network and soak up the additional mileage.

But that wound be boring 💤

As blokes we generally thrive at doing things we really shouldn’t.

There’s an unwritten obligation to dash along the knife-edge of genius vs stupidity. Often the later being the winner however, occasionally our stupidity compels us to knock on the door of genius.

Which is why I took the Woodhead Pass back to Manchester and thankfully for me (and everyone else) the snowplough gritty guy has done his rounds leaving my to admire the snowkissed tree line and landscape.

Ps – Google the A682 Woodhead Pass. It’s an amazing #driving road with breathtaking views all year round. One day I’ll have someone with me to take some proper pics. For now. This is all you get 🤓

So, do you need a courier that strives to find some genius in the most daft places? Why wouldn’t you 😜
