Right I not too sure what to do here as I have just been told by a fellow responder that houndkirk road is not driveable due to the snow

So in follow on from that I am going to postpone this until the 12th or the 19th of December i will check the lanes befor making final decision on which date to go

It would be irresponsible of me to lead the party into uncertainty


sorry about this lads, but safty is more important

Karl Tried to do some of those lanes last january and all were blocked by snow level to the tops of walls finished up in a pub having a nice dinner.

and this is the worst snow fall that sheffield has had in a while as well

any local members can you confirm about condition of the snow on lanes ?

Snow in the peaks.

Hi kbekl.
At a guess i would say it would be pretty severe up there at the moment.
with risk to trucks and possible damage to some of the lanes.
You know the crack,
As always just make sure your all well prepared.
all the best iandouglas

Snow in the peaks.

every thing ok now thanks.
loved the vid of the RR pulling the truck.

only that much of the secondary and minor housing estate roads still really need 4wd
and most arent as high or desolete as in the peak.

and some near me i cant even access in in low box and everything locked, or certainly
when tried thursday, that wasnt playing, but taking supplies to in laws!

its been quite and adventure and continues just to trying to maintain normal life.

our parents are now comparing this to 1948 and 1963, we think like 1978, hmm
bit of a pattern there anyone? cos 93 was a bitch too, 2008..

 

[kbekl]

i am going to have to cancel this as i cant make the date myself
