Last year the University gritted the pavements by the flats (it's private land). So far this year they haven't. The pavements outside the flat are an ice rink. I am not looking forward to trying to lug furniture and boxes across them next week.

You could treat the box-moving like a giant game of curling?

If it were someone else's possessions in the boxes I might feel happier..

Do you have any shops that carry YakTrax? They're rubber-and-springs traction devices that fit over your shoes/boots, and they work wonderfully on icy walks and packed snow. Another brand, Stabilicers, uses cleats instead.

There's also something to be said for moving one's legs as if you're cross-country skiing. At least your weight will be a bit forward, so you're less likely to fall on your bum.

I've never heard of either. Thanks for the tip. I'm afraid it's come too late for the house move (which is today), but I shall keep an eye out for such things in future.
