Left it a bit late. Though I will be hiring a snowboard too.

I had a similar problem in Edinburgh and found an internet wholesaler in Newbridge who would sell me one. They're on ebay as Neverq.

So if it is an absolute desperate [i]me bairn must have a sledge[/i] situation then you could try that - it's right off the m8 (doubt it's open tomoz though). Otherwise try gumtree and sites like that if the shops are out.

Cheers Garry - it's not quite [i]that[/i] desperate, it would just be nicer than bouncing down on plastic bags! I hear Halfords have some but I'm too late to find out tonight?

Mayfield Garden Centre, just off the end of the Embra bypass had stacks of them this morning - may be worth a call?

Oh! And have fun!

Sledges are great. FACT!

This may sound weird, but buy one of those waxy/plasticy table cloths. They are amazing: resilient, large enough to fit 3-4 people on and slippy! They do make fantastic sledges, I'm never getting another crap plastic sledge again. We were up Queens Park the other day and it was amazing.

Coffeeking I'm going up to Glasgow tomorrow around midday, I can lend you a couple of sledges if you can meet me in the city centre.

Cheers for all the ideas/offers etc guys, as usual showing the great side of STW! We're on pause while it rains and they're not for me specifically (friends) so I wouldn't like to risk borrowing item. Matthewmountain - will keep you on speed dial 🙂

Table cloth - genius.
