[alex]

I'm back. Great day out.

Let me just say which of the cars got up the Mynd first go?????? AH that would be the one in 2wd . Best bit of the day was drifting the car 2wd in snow all the way up the climb to the top. Then a snow ball fight waiting for the guys with 4wd to catch up

The lanes were great, traction decent, views superb, company second to none.

Little mans up to bed, tempted to follow soon. Photies will be brill, just hope the ones I took of you all coming up in the snow come out.

[weave67]

we got loads 160 in total oh and alex i owe you one for that little pushing trick you did

[alex]

Sorry, that was the best bit of the day, I havent laughed that much in ages.

[weave67]

mate the whole day was fun the banter on the cb,made a good day even better I even enjoyed my slippy moment on the first hill fun,(not)

[frontydan]

Ello to all,
Well what a top day that was from start to finish.
Sorry i aint got a photos cos.....
A - I forgot my camera
B - I forgot my video camera
C - I forgot my phone charger
D - I was having too much fun drifting around in the snow....... and yes that does include the snowball fights, the snowman, and the snow angel..... although i know that they have all been captured on other peoples camera etc.

As already said... the scenery was stunning, the craic top notch and the company second to none. Thanks to all who made it a true day to remember, my first laning trip in snow.

And to top the day off we overtook a standard fronty sport on our way home only to be overtaken again by him and then he slowed down to let us past..... initial thought was what a total w*@#er but when we pulled up at the traffic lights we saw him gesturing to put our windows down because basically he couldn't believe it was a frontera sport, i know it's total self indulgance but hey, i don't care and he made my day!!!

Anyways i'll be off to bed soon as i have an early start in the morning and don't want to be too tired just incase the snow watch alert is activated tomorrow.

Heres to hoping and cheers again guys.
