Martin,

The “trees/sheep” pics were taken just before dusk and the Scafell pics taken breakfast time, According to people who know about these things, those are good times to take photo’s.<br />I am pleased with them.<br />The hill run was definitely a brown corduroy moment and i am not sure if you can get snow chains for low profile tyres but they would have been useful to say the least.<br />We did discuss this option and i will check it out or at least a different tyre type. Thanks.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-50354532942694679942010-12-06T20:56:26.895+00:002010-12-06T20:56:26.895+00:00Scary antics.

I've learnt a lesson this weekend.<br />I'm so glad it was only 2mph.<br /><br />David,<br />The main roads in Cumbria are ok with care. It's the side roads and the fell roads that are treacherous. We spent 2 hrs breaking up sheet ice outside the house just to get the car out on Saturday morning. The council hadn't gritted them.<br />Thanks for kind comments on the pics btw.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-81343672691036483532010-12-05T22:28:19.564+00:002010-12-05T22:28:19.564+00:00roads not happening out there at the mo - be safe!...roads not happening out there at the mo - be safe!<br /><br />great photos tho, really lovely.selfpoweredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10690224905896399570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-58637820165237432452010-12-05T21:33:04.082+00:002010-12-05T21:33:04.082+00:00Various knipemobiles have performed similar antics...Various knipemobiles have performed similar antics.
