AK350Z Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 A walk in the Snow on Skiddaw. Thankfully in crampons, they make icy conditions so much easier, you wonder how you ever managed without! (except possibly by staying inside!) Someone had kindly built a shelter. The wind was picking up and whipping up the spindrift. Great invention: The Panda works its magic once again on the icy roads Quote
nixy Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 could have done with crampons just to get along the path yesterday! Quote
AK350Z Posted December 30, 2009 Author Posted December 30, 2009 Where is the Zed ???? I direct you to the fact that this is in the "off topic" section! Quote
fatalus Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Where is the Zed ???? I direct you to the fact that this is in the "off topic" section! Oops!! Sorry, just couldn't resist the opportunity to admire the rare sight of a bold man taking his Zed out in the snow!! Quote
bronzee Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Just a nice stroll in the countryside then. Looks fun. Quote

Chris`I Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Sir, you are a nutter I'm going to show this to Amanda to show just how much of a wuss she is when it comes to proper "walking" Quote
stanski Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Sir, you are a nutter I'm going to show this to Amanda to show just how much of a wuss she is when it comes to proper "walking" What you dont see is Andy just wearing his T-shirt (behind the camera) well he is from the North East after all- probably has shorts on too!

I'm from the North East too, but I aint that mad! I got shouted at last week for going out in the snow in jeans, t-shirt and lightweight jacket when Amanda was all geared up for an Arctic adventure Still, those crampons make it look a lot easier Quote
AK350Z Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 THE NORTH EAST??!?!?! The very cheek! It's north west actually, and the proper north west at that, not bloody Manchester. That's nearly the midlands from where i'm sitting! The Panda is technically not mine, but its dinky euro 4WD goodness reaches the places big american tanks can't. Quote

Well I am North Manchester so its almost Midlands for me too! But we are all Southerners compared to Stew! He gets about 3 minutes of daylight this time of year he is sooo far North - has Santa's sleigh marks on his roof! I remember when those Panda's came out they have a funky fluid clutch 4x4 system I think , saw one as a Police car in Italy last time I was there Skiing - looked ace in the snow Hey dont disrespect da tank bro' Americans they shoot first then ask questions later! Hope you enjoyed the snow anyway Quote
Husky Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 as far as alot of people on here are concerned your all from the south :lol: i did some similar walking today, although had to star right from the bottom as the zed wouldnt even get off the bottom of the ungritted drive Quote
AK350Z Posted January 2, 2010 Author Posted January 2, 2010 A few more from the scafell massif today: Quote
zedwagon Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Very nice Andy I am guessing that your councils didn't grit again today after the downpour? well they couldn't even be arsed gritting any road never mind the main A roads here!!! Where's a 4x4 Panda when you need one Damn Lucy highjacked my Iphone - posting under wrong Id (Stanski) Quote
Chris`I Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Nice one Andy, you wouldnt catch me up there in that weather! Quote
AK350Z Posted January 2, 2010 Author Posted January 2, 2010 No gritters up the hills Stan! the roads near the coast are ok, the snow is all above 200m. Quote
stanski Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I'm sure there are no gritters up t'hills but there have been absolutely no gritters anywhere around Manchester ! Well it seems the snow sneaked up on us again the sneaky rascal Quote
