Take one plant spray filled with water and squirt into keyholes and on door seals. They wil freeze solid in no time, also put kitchen salt around their tyres it will melt a little then re-freeze like glass.

We were in work at Llandegla today, as well as the 2-3feet of snow lying on solid ice there will be considerable drifts on the top of the climb trail conditions are dangerous as the weight of snow has bought tress and branches down. Conditions are such a survey of the damage hasn't been conducted yet.

btw that's me with my little 'un.

2 turbo tyres, 8 tyres on the bikes, a set of winter tyres and a spare set of 1.9IRC Mythos. So that would be 14, but have given away about 6 sets of part worn tyres recently.

About two and a half hours, had to go rescue my child and wife who was having a panic about driving in snow! Glad we've got a company 4×4 to blag lifts in.

Girls are scary, I'm a bit like Rajesh in Big Bang Theory when it comes to talking to women.

Fortunately this is no longer a problem as I'm married 😉

ADvantages. Done.

Saw them as a kid when our family were staying in Newton Stewart, very cool animals.

The GDR isn't officially a race, so a stage race like Cape Epic or transrockieswould fit the bill for a normo to enter.

steve one of the lucky 300eh?

We did Whitehaven to Sunderland.

Did it about 8yrs ago in 21hrs unsupported, it was tough but do-able. Not sure if I could do it now though!

Funny that, had someone try to get up the slipway into the carpark at Llandegla (the morning we shut) in an A3 Quattro and got stuck, turned out it was a fwd auto diesel! His mates in a Hi-Lux and Navarra had no such issues 😆

But surely a Rangie is a much nicer machine for the money?

Some friends of mine were out in lake Louise a few years back and were amazed to watch a Chevy Dayvan being drifted around a corner and park neatly outside a restaurant.. then were nearly floored by the sight of a pensioner trying to get out of it! She could barely walk properly but had lived nowhere else so was well used to driving in ice and snow.

Yep 3points and a fine, someone did recently tell me it could be 3points for every window (think it was a wind up)

Did someone say we live in a Demorcacy?

My singlespeed Chas Roberts Genesis in Candy Apple Red, 11yrs old and still love it 😳

Or how about heated insoles, Maplin do some battery operated ones.

Piers Morgan. No explenation needed.

Its you, one of my fave films. Amazing to watch even now considering none of it was shot with cgi, the book is rather good too.

Don't rant at the normal folk you've been told before!

Don't think so. As for me I trade a full nights sleep for one of the best motorsport events.

No but it will be this weekend most likely, definately closed tomorrow.

Spesh Stumpy, set the bar for mass market mtb's
Mountain Goat, Whiskey Town Racer still the benchmark for real nice steel
Marin Mount Vision the original version, proved a decent full suss bike need not cost the earth.

Where does Tim Dalton and the timelords come into this, thought they were all killed by the Daleks?

Its been snowing in Llandegla again, minus 10c last night apparently!

petesgaff and the cbbc one.

The kasese one was funny at first, then got very creepy and unsettling, a classic case of stw poking vipers with sticks!

Egg, as an evolutionary mechanism it way predated the chicken.

never have smoked, its one of the ways I justify what I spend on my bikes.

Tend to use my ss most too, only resort to geared fs when on a guided ride.

Kona Cadabra.

st4 is a very good bike, nice build too. Clearence is quite tight on the drive side though.

32:18 and get used to 16 when you get used to the different style of riding, then onto a 15.

Been looking at our Spannies 29er Scandal and have to say I'm very tempted.

Lungs is a top album, abd I find her oddly attractive too!

The digger driver that had been up to move snow at ours was on his way to dig out a lorry stuck up there.

Cost of fuel these days suprises me anyone who drives a private vehicle can afford to drive like a loon at maximum attack everywhere.

Surfr are yours the new spec box section stays?

OPA photos[/url] check these out, bear in mind how much more exposed the Horseshoe is!

Check the BBC Wales weather, they've just said continuing snow on high ground through the evening.
