100 mile round trip to feed sheep this morning, nice empty roads so gave the Puma a good thrash.

It is AWFUL. If you can get above 2000m it's passable, but it's not a patch on last year. Big dump three weeks ago, then a lot of cold, then rain, rain and more rain over the weekend. Just to wash away the lower slopes and destabalise the snow pack for Off Piste mischief. And from yesterday it's just glorious sunshine and cold every day until (rumour has it) at least the 7th. Sun zero means glacial slopes overnight, being melted by solar heat by day.  But it is still December and whilst last year had epic snow, it is easy to forget that most years, bar the 2000m+ resorts, Christmas/NY have always been touch and go.

AJC, that looks very nice. You now need to stick it in a hermetically sealed bag and put it on show. Top effort

Thank you. I actually have one. It’s just too small for a defender. Only just fits my escort in it.

Dragged it out over to the Derbyshire Dales, stopped for a walk around Hartington, then ended up having an impromptu pub lunch.
Fun fact, it's warmer with the back n sides rolled up.

@rear mudflap LH
My mudflap is coming off the bracket on the rear LHside and its only hanging on by one of those pins that connect it to the bracket. Do i have to get a whole new set or can i just get a new braket? Thx |

The little pins are just big rivets. If that's what's failed then just drill out and replace with a nut, bolt and some washers. Darren
