That my friend prolly would be suicide in many parts of the UK in winter, I've been stuck on Bellerby moor in a 110 FFR Landy in a convoy of three, only a mile from Layburn when the snow caught us out, we could not walk 50 feet even as fit squaddies as the snow was soft, fluffy ultra sticky and 4 foot deep very quickly, twas like trying to walk in golden syrup !!!, and thats only in North Yorks, I've seen winter weather up Otterburn area that trapped winter equipped German troops with their Marders and Gelands and thats still 50 miles short of the Scots border, Parts of Scotland are even less forgiving I'm told, not dont it myself but did read about that US Army Ranger who died way up north on a hiking holiday.
