Nice one Andy, advantage of electrics no having to kneel in the snow to fuel and start the dam thing, glad you didn’t get to cold.

Just got this email from Steve Holland.

Hi Dave

I'm looking skyward for snow and all I can see is this, think next weeks trip home is going to be a shock to the system.

Cheers Steve

Hey Mr DJ. call that a good covering. Forgot,we are made of hardier stuff up here. Saying that, I have had to dig myself out from home and into work at least four days on the trot when we had that last lot. My camera literally froze when I was at work. Managed to thaw it out to take some pics. Will post them shortly. Back to your cocoa and slippers DJ. Solly :lol:

A frozen camera? LUXURY!

In my day when we had proper winters & had to go shopping in a tractor we used to dream of frozen cameras!

The scene from the North London club at Baldock Sunday. Proof that bonzey really does live at the field all year round, complete with Greenly on skis.

Most of the snow has gone from here (Chester-Le-Street) now, but this was the scene 10 days ago...................

Well Steve Holland is back in this country, just received this email from him.

Hi Dave

2,500 miles and a 25c drop in temperature and I've found snow. I have to say it was fun but much harder to land as I couldn't feel my thumbs.

Cheers Steve
