Could I ask people that use a walking stick - does the snow/ice effect you with your stick?

I know you can get ice/snow grippers to go over your shoes, they work really well but take care with your stick. You can buy anti-slip tape that you could wrap round the bottom if you can get it to stay on.

Other than that don't go far unless you really have to.

Best wishes
Rebecca

Hello Dorothy & Rebecca

Thanku for your replies.
I've been doing ok outside with stick, I think when snow turns to ice I will bling my stickRazz

TOP TIP:
I've been using my walking stick to "lie down" on the roof of my car & hubby and gently glide the snow off!! It worksLOL although my hubby thought I was going to beat his car up!Tongue
Saves energy and lots of scooping snow off the car!LOL

Take care in the snow & ice everyone
Xxx

Hi Jane - that sounds fun in the snow - I can just see you on top of car pelting hubbe with snowballs - go on you know you want to!!!!! Haha.

Very sad here - there is no snow! So very envious of you. Love and hugs - Sylvia xx
