Look, photos!

Sledges are now a rare item. Fortunately I found a large plastic tray big enough to hold both our Daughters in the shed. A quick attack with the drill and some rope from the car and we had ourselves a sledge!

I offered to pull Chloe but she declined due to hip worries however she did offer to pull me (very) briefly.

Somewhat cooler than last year so most of them stayed intact this time.
