I keep telling him to clean the tractor but he never does. <br />Thanks for the offer of the spikes but i think 12 pointers are just a little OTT for our walks with Dorothy. We decided that if it’s icy just to leave her at home instead of tempting fate.<br />Good day yesterday. Thanks.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-5961630828513986502012-12-10T10:50:07.791+00:002012-12-10T10:50:07.791+00:00Nice photos.

We do have strange weather here in UK. The Kahtoola spikes are excellent. I borrowed a pair a few years ago when i did the Coniston ridge in winter and from then on i said i would buy some but i am still saying it. We have the cheap version from Clas Ohlson.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-5659289430973270722012-12-03T09:28:52.404+00:002012-12-03T09:28:52.404+00:00Rain today Maria, so the ice is clearing.

The towpath takes a short diversion at the point where you indicate but the canal is clear.<br />Great fish and chip shop at Hollingworth lake.

I see that north of there it runs past Hollingworth Lake where I used to sail back in the 60s.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.com
