He's having fun in the days when we had real snowfalls! Bet he still had to go to school too! It was and still is a steep 'brew'
This brings back memories of my youth when sledging in Whitley fields and Brock Mill Lane areas. Favourite position was lying like this - head first on your tummy.
I used to pray for snow when I was young and made my own sledge but not now. Best place for snow is on Christmas cards!
It does look like fun!
As you say vb, missing school was not an option - what I'm surprised at is the lack of other youngsters in the photo - but there again I did live just to the left in the Crispin Arms so in a sense this was my doorstep ski facility. Thank you for the improvement Joe.
We always made slides in the 'cart.road' on anywhere were there was an incline. The old ladies would then come and throw ashes over just to spoil our fun!!!!!
Fantastic photo!
