Snow day
Decided to do my bit today. Can't work so I've volunteered to get staff to work at Overgate hospice. They did a great job for my mum so felt it was time to give something back.

I just picked up my landy after some warranty work at Listers, glad to have the big bus back! New wheels, steps, swivel housings and some paint work all done. The steps have changed - look more plastic than the old ones. I’ll now be able to run homecare staff around tomorrow morning, fingers crossed for some proper snow!!
Nice to be back behind the wheel Very Happy

Well our local roads are slightly problematical today. Normal route to warehouse is

A quick reccy on foot ahead showed snow drifted across road about 3 feet deep ahead.

Discretion overcoming the idea of shovelling snow for a couple of hundred metres.

Reversed off and landed up taking a neighbour to the shops.

I'd say go for it. What's the worst that could happen? You get stuck and find yourself all over the BBC and Social Media. Whistle Monsieur Le Grenadier

Cluck, cluck Razz At least I am home safe and warm.

Now if I had a mobile anchor point behind the red 110 I might have been tempted as it has a rear winch.
