Where can I buy a sledge?
Where can I buy a sledge?
I've heard there will be lots of snow and am keen to buy a sledge so I can take my daughter out in the snow! Anyone got any ideas where I can buy one locally? Halfords is sold out apparently, and I don't think they do them at Sainsburys..
Ironically I wouldn't wait for a delivery when there is even a smattering of snow about. If Halfords have any they will be gone.
Experience from the last major snowfall in Crystal Palace Park is that an ordinary plastic tray (bigger the better) gives a fast and suitably uncontrolled descent. For those that have no trays - a large plastic bag is a surprising asset.
As ever you can go a lot further and a lot faster than expected and the only sure direction is downward. Be very careful to ensure you are going to end up somewhere safe. There have been some horrid injuries when encountering fences and even barbed wire.
Those that have no trays or bags will hopefully enter the usual informal but keenly fought snowman competition.
Enjoy.
