South Shields. It's only on the beach and cliffs we have any snow. Plenty of ice though, as I found after having my confidence (over) boosted from riding on nice grippy frozen gravel/sand/mud and then riding full pelt onto a car park that was under almost 3" of glass like ice. I thought I'd caught it and it was all set to look awesome to all the passers-by, but no...on my arse for the usual lightening quick get back up, remount and ride away with a cheery "No problems, I'm fine" while actually in agony.
