Default Interesting drive

Interesting drive out this afternoon especially when I decided to go up boxhill the steep side all going well until I stop for a shogun towing a sledge and got stuck down the camber of the road, so he towed me up the hill and that was when it go exciting as we were going up a landy coming down the hill must have braked a bit and slid of the road and in the end only thing stopping going over the edge and down the side of the hill was a two small trees.

Started like this.



But after the first attempt it got a bit more touch and go.



Two hours later we got it back on the road plus I made it the rest of the way to the top and at that point I was thinking winter tyres next year, but it still did a job on worn summer tyres.

You haven't lived until you've been towed on a sledge. Best to have one with a brake though!
