So your journey, in an area with terrible weather conditions, was
necessary?

Not at all; I fancied a ride. I wouldn't have taken the car out, but
bikes are somewhat different; flexible enough to be pushed or lifted
round/though obstacles. Highly er, what's the word.... VIABLE!



Cyclists just take the warning to "stay off the roads unless your journey is
essential" as a challenge.

Of course we take it as a challenge; we're like that. Last year in
the snow my bike coped with several miles of snow, and I was in a
distinct minority in actually getting into the office. Could have
worked from home, but thought I'd set an example; can't expect others
to go in if I don't make the effort myself.

getting drunk in the shed.

The Range Rover driver clearly had enough sense to know there was another
route,

all we know is that he didn't take *that* route at *that* time ... we
do not know if his journey continued to his previously-intended destination

The cyclist was also sensible, he got off his bike and pushed it on a
diversion along a narrow path, around the deepest water,

and thus continued on his chosen route to his objective?
