Sledging
 

How many people have gone out and bought a sledge at some time either for their selves or the kids
and never really got any use from it? Seems like a million years since we had any decent snow

Last march was good enough for me to go "sledging" in the car.

Literally, took me a good 45mins to go 5 miles, although there were some worse than me, a good part of that was spent sideways :twisted:

My mum had a proper big sledge imported from norway...

Lights, Steering system, brakes, can fit three grown adults on it... used it twice :lol:

once was also the snow in feb/march earlier this year

Living in Essex, it isn't that surprising really is it?

I remember being a kid in Stretton, Derbyshire and having the most wonderful snow. Even for a couple of years when we moved down into Essex there was decent snow, but we haven't had any snow that's lasted more than a couple of day for at least 15 years....

.... Global warming? why not, I can believe it

My dad built a sledge when I was 5; an old roof rack with and old cuboard door bolted on. Fast as feck it was!

Cotswold had some really cool folding wooden sledges last year.... £60!

We go Canoggoning, using kayaks as sledges! :D

Me too. Used to go up to the water tower at Horninglow and play all day.

last experience of sledging was approx 10 years ago, new years eve, using bin bags on the cliffs near westerham, where the CB'ers used to go. Malcolm went over a rock face and broke his back, had to be rescued by helicopter. BBC later researched it for their 999 program, but didn't use it.

Ah, we were guaranteed great sledding days in Canada... snowball fights, 4ft high snow drifts...

sledges ha ... they are for wimps... we used to get a big sheet of plastic and fit as many of us as possible on it to go sledging on.. although it does start to hurt after a while!

Ah, I thought you were referring to the cricket sledging.
