Last night in my bog standard V-Reg Jimny with Bridgestone Duellers I went for a play. The snow had drifted quite deep in the Pentlands and I was beginning to wonder if I shouldn't turn back. Came across a bloke in a Rover 45 who was stuck and had blocked the road and was waiting for a Land Rover to come get him. No sign of the Land Rover so we managed to get the Jimny turned round on the single track road with ditches either side and I connected him to my towbar.

Little Jimny had no problems at all pulling itself and the rover through the drifts and back to a more civilised road surface. Well impressed with the Duellers - they seem to find grip on almost anything, which is strange as when I worked for West Lothian Council we had a Mitsubishi L200 with them on and that bloody thing couldn't get traction even on wet grass.

I had tow ropes a shovels in the Jimny just in case. Had the use the shovel a few times actually, mostly for other road users to get out.
