Unisol   12 #75 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) My experience is that the 'official channels' are normally wrong.  Exactly. I wanted to find out from people who'd maybe travelled them today.  And why would they not be? What a stupid comment given the imminent snow forecasts. It was snowing in Castleton earlier so there you go.  Edited January 13, 2015 by Unisol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Luckily Woodhead was open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Flanker7 Â Â 20 #79 Posted January 15, 2015 Make a note of the posters who were smart alec's. If you want to know ask someone with up to date first hand knowledge. Sheffield Forum is the perfect place for that if you can put up with the twonks. I'll be making the same inquiry tomorrow at about 11pm.
