By the time we met on Monday evening, the snow had started to ice up and the plan was looking considerably more ropey. Not to be put off we grabbed a large cardboard box, some spacehoppers and started shovelling. The results were far more impressive than I imagined!

Not only was there enough space in there to crawl through (getting very wet in doing so) but it was able to take a bit of weight:

It held under direct pressure for a while before finally giving way:
