Janus Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I went to Stanington recently. I’d never been there before, and I did not realise just how hilly it is. I was in the Deer Park flats area initially, which although is up quite a large hill was not too bad. Then, I dropped someone off near Bowl hill area and thought that the hills around that part would surely be closed-off for traffic in the winter if there is 3 or 4 inches of snow (unless there has been gritting). Being high ground, I’m sure there will invariably be more snow fall. Anyone on here from those parts? How do you manage in bad winters with access?

Daven Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I was brought up at Stannington - in the village further up the hill than Deer Park and it does get cut off by the snow. The buses will stop even trying to get up Stannington hill as soon as the snow begins to 'stick'. True Stanningtonians know to always have a shovel and your wellies in the boot of your car as there may be no snow in the city centre but many inches by the time you get to the top of Stannington proper - at the 'top house' pub.

RiffRaff Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 You're not being charged per word you know. You can post full worded sentences for free. Talking of words, why are so many people inserting 'for' in front of 'free' these days?! Unsure why, but it bloody infuriates me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossdog Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The snow line starts and ends at the now defunct Sportsman Inn the old village boundary.Any thing above the Sportsman in the village expect worse conditions than the area below the Sportsman now known as the district of Stannington,down to Malin Bridge!
