Northwood Meet December 2017 Pictures

[MartinK9]

Thanks once again to Steve for allowing the extra days.

The extra day allowed us to set up in cold but snow free conditions and start collecting fire wood:

Some went retro:

OK it was me....

The night chill was easily defeated:

Steve's arrival meant the big boys came out:

The pile grew:

It was needed:

 

[MartinK9]

Promised snow showers did arrive:

And I got a free ride home:

The cost tomorrow will not be .

Nice pics Steve, never got to see Pete cooking the turkey close up.


I wonder how deep in snow it finally got?

Well I don’t live too far from NW, but I would say about 8” or so, then a bit more on the night so a decent covering.

Nice one, we got out just in time then

 

[TinkyPete]

We had a total of a foot and a half at home. I have been using my Mokka for trips to do stuff for family and friends as I am one of the few who can get out of our street. Was driving last night after picking up my sister from work and had the car register -11 C at 9pm

And I got a free ride home:

The cost tomorrow will not be .

Final bill total £1,262

Half of that was the new clutch, the rest MOT, Service and replacement tyres etc

Cancel Xmas for me.....
