Back Lane wasn't too bad.
However it does seem that they're only gritting from Hullet Close upwards, must be going through Woodnook estate.
If it freezes the bottom is going to be frightening.
Apparently somebody has been skiing down it today

When I was at school we used (get this) - A car bonnet..!

A dozen of us piled onto it down a hill (inside school grounds), imagine trying that now with all this H&S.

Didnt some girls use a car bonnet once and went straig into a barbed wire fence which decapitated them?

Prob just an urban myth but everyone was talking about it yesterday

Found a sledge in the end, however I can confirm that body boards are far superior.
Worked a right treat up ont' Beacon.

Council try to justify themselves over the gritting during the bad weather earlier in the month.
