I lived in Moscow through the winter, one year. During the day, the surface would melt ever so slightly, then freeze again, leaving a surface made up of shallow little hollows.
There's no point putting salt down when the temperature gets really low, so they sprinkle sand over the ice to create a gritty surface. Between the grit and the little hollows where you can put your heel, it's surprisingly easy to walk around without slipping.

I feel free to disagree with the Govt view of it being "unlikely". We grow evermore litigeous "where there's an injury there's a claim" lawyers etc. My local Borough Council declined to provide equipment and salt for residents on an estate they were never going to clear, for exactly this reason.
What this website does is effectively set down the grounds for making a claim i.e. that you did not do exactly as they list.
Further, their suggestion of using salt is just plain wrong. As Keith Beef states, salt is of no use below a few degrees below freezing, which it frequently drops below overnight, on pavement surfaces. Roads Depts only put road salt out if a relatively mild freeze is expected, then it melts and runs off, benefit lost. So they prefer to grit, for longer lasting grip.
A can of wax for my jackets.
Off for a week in the Lakes next month. Those lakes aren’t there from underground springs!!!! It all fell out of the sky, lots of it on Keswick!
No, not camping. A rather splendid self cater right on the banks of the river Greta. My favourite pub is less than 100M away but I can get very wet on the way.
(No….. Don’t!)

Fifty quids worth of delicious cheese from the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company as a Christmas treat.
yup, also have some Edam which i've not had for years and a nice piece of Stilton
Not bought, but this really very cool carabiner 3D printed in PETG-CF by @Tony arrived today for winning the countryside fence photo heat run by @Mesquite
It's my first time handling a compliant mechanism that's 3D printed, and it's in such a useful format to boot. It'll be going straight onto my pack (we all know that in BCUK-speak that means onto one of the many depending on which I fancy using) and used.
Thank you to Mesquite for running the photo heats and to Tony for the printing and most importantly running this great forum!

This forum is determined to make me buy an Urban…
Google the wool room or baavat. I have a pillow from each. Woolroom has a sale on right now, so cheaper.
Baavat has pillows you can unzip and wash the cover(buy an extra one at the same time) and add extra or take out some of the stuffing to tailor the pillow to your needs. (Extra stuffing costs more again) not cheap, but a pillow for life, supports British farmers and ecco friendly.
Also, you save in the long run as your not throwing collapsed unrecycleable pillows away every year or two.
