It seemed such a simple task but it turned into a ‘Mount Everest moment’ for one woman ... but could she scale the heights of making it up her garden path and back to her home?

For a video has emerged on Facebook in Huddersfield of a woman who looks like she’s popped out to her car in her pyjamas and dressing gown to get her bag and then faces a titanic struggle to get back due to ice.

Judging by the distinctive green and grey wheeled bins it looks like it was filmed in a Huddersfield street.

She gets the bag OK but then loses her grip on the situation quite literally as she tries desperately to get the few feet from the road back up her garden path to home.

It’s a tough one for her to conquer and she’s seen slipping and sliding all over the place.

But, unlike the pavements, she shows true grit and just keeps on trying.

There’s good news for her though. The weather seems set to get milder this week with the ice vanishing fast.
