I was this morning!!! Poppys first adventure on snow and ice. I spent an hour wiping the windscreen because of the condensation...the snow was a minor inconvienence compared to not being able to see..lol
Fir the record the dumper was shocking in snow straight line no probs, coming out of bends anyones guess the other dumper went straight thru the fence, spent this morning taking it steady, theres alot of momentum with something weighing 42 tonnes:eek: :eek: especially when it wants to pirroette.

I was most dissapointed at all that mud and water. I did not buy my landy to get dirty at such a place!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
My daughter loved it :D , especially the drop into the Light Bulb....or should it be known as No Mans Land!! All I got from her was a scream and a "Oh my god!". She loved the water splash too and the deep water, especially when it started to come in through the doors :eek: .
I really do need a tank guard if i am going to carry on beaching myself ....thanks once again for the rescue!!
Oh, and thanks again to Little Rangie and Steves son for the help with the tyre changes ...

I don't like to use the word "stuck"... I prefer "temporarily delayed due to the scenery" :D
Must admit, it was great to try bits that a few weeks ago I would not have dreamed off trying. A lot of it is thanks to Hughs encouragement...or should I say...leading astray! My theory now is if Hugh, Rod or Kev can get stuck in it...then so can I :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
PS..where is Ali's photos...been looking forward to seeing them....
jamesetta
30th Nov 2005, 15:48
