Man up chaps, embrace your time off engage in risk, expand your smile, release your worldly woes, then come home and roast your frozen totsies in front of the fire with a strong brandy hot chocolate and cream
That's my day out sorted, now come on down snow
I went to clear out my Dads garage who sadly passed away in November last year, access to it is up a narrow ginel on a quite steep slope, pulling a trailer the Mistral took it with little effort, virgin snow at the top, it's great to be able to get where no one else can

Thats great thanks Briggie, I don't think there was anywhere near that in the trailer but I'll bear that in mind for future reference, can anyone add to this?

I had a look in the engine bay today, the amount of snow in there!
I've made a mini ski jump on the drive.
Next time I'll fit a plough.

Went for a play today, got stuck. Top 6cm or so is nice and solid but underneath was like sugar, could not get grip on the powder once the wheels sunk in and the diffs stuff on the top hard stuff. Not to worry though hi-lift to the rescue!

Would of took me a few mins to get out but didn't have my waffle boards. So had to do about 15 mins of digging with my small spade
