Sunday racing
Hi guys. I have just been up to counthill school. Only managed to get as far as the mini roundabout at the bootom and got stuck. Its currently -1.5 temp and the road is iceing up. I tried going round the haven lane route and the snow drifts are 5-6 foot high. I have a friend who lives 100 yards from the school and he say's thier is no way we could get up thier only by tractor. So with this in mind I think we as a commity should call the meeting of or possible try to get up thier first thing in the morning. I will try to post pics of haven lane drifts. I am going to ring Darren Wales to see what he wants to do. So stay tunned.

No worries mate. I have spoke to Darren and told him that I think the meeting should be called off. He is going to speak to Si race controler and see what he says. But unless we have a heat wave in the morning its going to ice up which makes it even worse. Its bad now so in the morning we have no chance.

The pictures speak for themselves,its going to be another big task getting all the gear out of the store room too,gets very windy round the back and looking at that snow i bet it would drift right in that corner.

I live 2 mins down the road and the snow drift behind my back door was 3 foot high. I had to go round and dig out just so the dog could take a p**s. took me an hour to dig my car out.

We have decide to call the meeting off, no point on wasting time and money trying to get to the venue.
I will send a email to all club members later. |

I couldn't get my car up that hill last time it snowed and it wasn't that bad! Plus it wasn't laden down with all the race control gear.
Unless tomorrow is pretty amazing weather I can't see how its going to work. I'm sure we can get pretty close to Counthill, but if we can't actually get up the hill thats a pointless (and difficult) journey. Whilst I'd rather the meeting went ahead (I have even more new alloy bits for my 210 - black not red but bling all the same!) its more important that all our members are safe. That road is very nasty in the snow..... I'll check in the morning if someone local wants to give an update but if there is no 'its on' message assume its not on.

Southport it probably is then, preferably batley

Not sure you'll manage Batley - I gather its pretty grim heading over that way. No more snow tonight but freezing cold and high winds have blocked several routes over the top.
I'm thinking Southport, but not sure exactly how much the wife will kill me.....
