[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1112936, member: 13739"] When I was young I used to help my dad on a rural milk round. He used to go out in all weather, including deep snow. He'd load the back of the rear wheel drive pickup with concrete blocks and off we'd go. We'd still be delivering milk at 4pm after spending most the day stuck, and he even used to attempt steep hills with a run-up, if we didn't get to the top he'd slide back down in the ditch! When I reached my early teens I'd follow him in the tractor and pull him up/down hills and when he got stuck. Still slow going and cold, but a little better. Thing is most people could have managed without milk for a couple of days! This was one of the hills I remember him attempting a few times, there's a hairpin bend at the top too. Rarely got to the top 🙃 [ATTACH type="full" width="138px" alt="Screenshot_20221215-204417_Maps.jpg"]15677[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
