OK, with some distant possibilities starting to emerge, this seems like a good time to open the annual Winter ramping thread. clapping.gif

Great to see this thread open again, thanks Coast good.gif

All we need to do now is find a new place for the SACRA members HQ - I've had a look around at suitable property and I thought this might do nicely...

Not being able to tell the difference between large deer and small dogs would be good.

Thought I would organise a bar in the SACRA headquarters this year serving chilled beverages for all. LOL PM me if anybody wants a number I am on now for the winter as some of us seem to have a chance of some white stuff. Cheers drunk.gifdrinks.gif

I am doing the school run for the next two weeks - looks like it could be interesting! Early start this year - lets hope it is proloonged - we have waited long enough for a winter which is great and lomng lasting.
