MOO 730 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) Sno trac this was our only means of mechanical transport when the snow was on the hill it was used for feeding beasts and sometimes for carting hinds of the hill ....we used it spairingly cause if it broke which it often did it was our only means back to civilisation ...had some very hairy moments in it.... it would often start sliding side ways if the snow was hard and you were on a slope and it would throw a trac and nearly topple I bailed out a few times Heres it bellied time to get the spades oot Edited April 8, 2011 by MOO Quote Link to post
WILF 44,322 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) Well done fanny boy, I enjoyed sitting in your front room with a bowl of Ls soup and listening about your time on the hill and getting a bollocking about not skinning beasts properly ........put the one up that shows the view from your front door when you were snowed in, thats a cracker. You look young there and I have to say, time has done you no favours fatty! .........I thank god that at least I have kept my looks! lol lol Edited April 8, 2011 by WILF Quote Link to post
