Big 'D' Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Its looking like the heavy rain forecast for Sunday may actually be more snow now, obviously I am not expecting people to travel to the meet if the conditions are dangerous, we will play it by ear and see what the day brings. Cheers Iain
andyjudge Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Was just about to say I'll have to play Sunday by Ear. West Berks have just announced they only have enough salt for 1 more gritting run. Hopefully will be able to make it Andy

I cant understand what your problem is mate the scoob would plough straight through that LOL (just kiddin). Are the roads up to you totally impassable? Cheers Iain Edited February 6, 2009 by Big 'D'

Flippin 'eck! Thats some serious snow!!!! Shame you're running low on essentials, do shout if there's anything we can do!
Big 'D' Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Thats what I was thinking, I could probalbly get the Fozzy up there if need be. Cheers Iain

xdeadboltx Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 thanks for the offers peeps. yes the road are not passable we live on a big hill miles from nowhere. we got about 4 days of food left. going to see what its like tomorrow
scoobyboo Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Hi guys, roads are virtually impassable near us as well, we got roughly 18 inches of snow Wasn't going to be able to make it on sunday anyway, but definitely won't be going anywhere in the scooby for a while

stum450n Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Same goes for you guys, if you cant get to the shops etc and are getting low on essentials I am sure we could get stuff you you Cheers Iain More than happy to help out anyone who's in need of it.
scoobyboo Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Same goes for you guys, if you cant get to the shops etc and are getting low on essentials I am sure we could get stuff you you Cheers Iain Thanks ever so much guys, but we are ok because Winnie has got an L200 Mitsubishi Animal which can get through the snow which normal cars can't. He had to use his chain saw yesterday to clear the road from fallen trees so he could get down to work He was ferrying people about yesterday up and down the hill to the village, good hearted soul that he is It is quite a nice atmosphere in the village, everyone out enjoying the snow, lots of people going for walks and speaking to each other, shame it isn't like it all the time, everyone is usually tucked away inside or at work

Cheers Iain
