Go Prepared
If it sounds like fun go for it....But go prepared.. you never know what you will have to pull out!!!! ( usually a landrover or sommet!! )
But seriousley we went out a 12 noon saturday with kid and dogs for a walk in the woods got caught in blizzards by 3:30 we were in the pub with 2 rescued people having pulled out a police landy with 5 other rescuees in it, and waited till 6:30pm til the rescued snow plough cleared the way down. This it troll in car park after an hour. It is still iced up to day!!! Take care |

Now tell me just why do we have 4x4's
Is that an amber beacon on top with a lucky shot of it flashing or just a street lamp in the right place. Jim T PS still waiting for more snow but we now have full warnings of it from Met Office Jim T |

Street lamp!! Street lamp The nearest street lamp is about 5miles to the east and a dose of ear popping down!! Through 8 - 15 foot drifts that the ploughs didn't clear till sunday afternoon. That was ths Pub Sign in the background..!
This is a pic my wife took as we had just pulled the over enthusiastic copper out of the drift.. she turned the flash of so as not to annoy him. I asked if he had a rope to pull him out with but he said no, This I thought a bit od but later found out that their patrol car could not get onto the moor top so they went to the local Landrover dealer and comandeered one. ( I'll have that one please!! ) and by ek he gave it some beans!! Well done to the two bobby's who put them selves at risk for Joe public above and beyoned the call of duty!!!!!! |

Had about 3 inches down my way, which of course means it IS the end of the world... Sigh.
Just helped a mate out by doing the three mile round trip to collect his missus from work. Something about his V8 Mustang being a tad too sideways all the time to actually get anywhere. |

Joking aside, it will be for sale within a month. Three grand. P/X reasonable Terrano 2 (LWB, petrol or diesel) and around a grand. Kinda sold him on the big T2.
