you ever see that bently (think it was one of them) that dumped pretty much exactly where that vit is at tinhead? Landwarden told me they found it with doors open and drugs scattered all around. I asked if they been about looking for fresh shallow graves nearby!

i knowit was quite bad on the 338 towards marlborough but i havent been up there for a few days. id imagine it'd be ok now, its just the residential roads that are a bit iffy still.

Hiked up Cley Hill today with dogs, made it to the top and it started snowing so I came down again... on my ass at one point  :dance:


Spotted a landrover at work, there was a work crew in the woods putting up a stile (I think).


Passed this sign post many times over the years and this is the first time it hasn't been lying !!!


I made a 360deg panoramic from cleyhill but it's not going to work here I do not think as it too small...

hehe!
i came accross a woman today who had pulled off the road to let a van past and ended up in a gateway of a snowy muddy rutted track on the estate. there was no way she could get back on the road under her own steam!
we looked for the screw in towing eye - no joy! she didnt even know what one was which probably didnt help!
we looked everywhere, all we found was the hole where the spare wheel, jack and towing eye, should have been!!
in the end i got bored and was on a mission so i cracked out the waffle boards and shoved them under the front wheels! - enter my friend chris with the lead foot! took a few tries but we did it!!

shes going to take it back to where she got it from and moan at them! poor blokes!

hehe

My wife came across someone who had done the same. She got out to try to help and the chap in the vehicle she'd pulled over for shouted out that he hoped they would get a move on as he couldn't get in the field because the car was blocking the way  :shock: Needless to say, my wife suggested he might be better off helping than whinging...... or words to that effect...... might have been a few choice words in there too  :shock: :lol:

Snowing big ol'flakes up on the Plains early when I was walking dogs. Dunno if it will stick but it was bitterly cold in the wind.

In other news - how many dead badger can one road have in about 2 mile stretch??? On the b3098 between Edington and Erlestoke I counted 7 dead badger.

I always find it very odd that I see plenty of dead badgers on the roads, but I've never seen a live one near the roads...
