Famous last word, eh Driftwood.

I ran a green lane day on 4th March last year for another forum. It snowed heavily during the week, but were still going to go laning - one guy even drove from Maidstone in Kent to Llangollen in North Wales for the day.

Things started well when I assisted with an RTA on the M54 (7 vehicle pile up - I was first at the scene). Then recieved a phone call to say that 3 vehicles had cancelled (one of whone is a paremedic).

So 5 started off - within 45 minutes, one of the vehicles induced £500 worth of damage to the rear quater.

About half way through, we lost another vehicle due to it not being able to get up an icy lane.

The remaing 4 then took about two hours to travel a mile on one particular lane.

You ask anyone that attended - it was the best laning trip ever (at that point).

I'll be there, snow or shine.

Well i`ll defo be there, rain snow or shine, i got the tyres and the lift to try out

Bring it on, i like the white stuff

[haplessboylard]

Let me get this straight, you are wanting to be upto your axles in sticky, slimey mud followed the next day by being heaven knows how deep in fords... and you are worried about a bit of the white stuff?

Last year, i bought the sat nav, and me and the wife said shall go for a drive to test it, and picked a point of interest, picked lincoln castle, well i aint kidding, it was minus 8 or 9 as soon as we got over the humber bridge(A15), and there must have been 100`s of cars with frozen screens stopped at the side of the road!!! and we were snug as a bug in a rug, really enjoyed that day out even though it was bad weather.... just out of interest the sat nav took us right to the carpark wouldnt have found it without sat nav

[haplessboylard]

Let me guess, it told you to use the motorway...

[marlbororman]

hahaha lol, yer well i guess it did, this is same argument i have when i go out on the motor bike, now i just head off and take random turns and when ive had enough, i switch satnav on and hit home never get lost that way, and always find new roads to play on, and usually end up covering 200 to 250 miles

According to the AOL, BBC and american weather service we're only going to have Rain between now and the weekend.

Which channel You been watching Toppo and does Micheal Fish work for them ??
(For those that don't remember He famousy stated on Live TV in '86 that the Reports of High Winds were unfounded!! that night we had the Gales with Winds up to 110mph in some areas!! )

There has been Snow in Poland where SB is & it's now gone thanks to Rain and she did manage to get Pics of a Polish Fronty but couldn't find the Driver!!

In the Event of Snow .. of course the Event is still on !! You just exercise more caution and common sense!!

Looking at Leaving the Boat House at around 9:30am.....

I once wanted to go from Rotherham town centre to Sheffield city centre.

It directed me to Jtn 35 of the M1 down to Jtn 33 and then along the sheffield parkway.

Look at the route on a map and you will see how completely stupid that route is.

UK Outlook for Friday 26 Jan 2007 to Sunday 4 Feb 2007:
Cold weather affecting many areas at first, particularly central and eastern parts. Some wintry showers over the far southeast, perhaps giving a temporary covering of snow over hills. However, many places will have a good deal of dry, fine weather but accompanied by some sharp overnight frosts. The weather is expected to turn milder and rather more unsettled in northwestern areas over the weekend. These milder, more unsettled conditions with rain (locally heavy in northern and western parts) expected to extend slowly southeastwards during next week with unsettled weather persisting towards the weekend. However, there is a low probability that cold weather will return later with wintry showers in eastern and southern areas. Windy at times with gales or severe gales likely over many northern and western areas.
