Last day of ice and snow

The picture shows the snow at Park Farm, where Ampair / Boost Energy is still located for the moment. Today was the last day of snow, the journey from Guildford taking 2 hours. The most difficult part was up the hill called Silwood Road out of Sunningdale. The rear-drive Mercs and BMWs stood no chance and all turned back after minimal attempts. Even two VW Golfs failed after trying very hard. Of the many cars in our group only our Suzuki Ignis Sport made it to the top. Front-drive is a huge advantage, allowing the driver to try various angles of attack. I suspect that the short wheelbase is also useful in these circumstances. Conversely we had the handicap of wide, low-profile tyres.
