Won't be doing that again. My heated gloves are Keis 601, and the cold went right through them. I have some polar expedition type mits which are great at -25 C but even those I needed a chemical hand warmer in each one below that temp.

It's the main route up through the garden, the dog is charging up and down there several times a day, it's also the main route to get my bikes put away so it's hard on the grass this time of year. You can get grow through vehicle matting to lay on the grass to stabilise it. I think I will be buying some of that soon as I don't want to take my bikes out because it's almost impossible to get them back up the path on my own they just spin up and tear the grass up more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want to tariff you on the path , it looks awfully slippery and muddy, some more mats might work, or maybe some fine gravel to raise the path up a little...

Vamana Gupta Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago And another thing Saul , I didn't want to lecture you like a typical American ( sorry Scott ..lol) but it sounded a little self centered on my part , I'm sure you'll figure something out...like world War 2 , many nations contribute in defeating the axis power....lol.

Saul Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago If it were up to me I would put in a gravel path but my Mrs likes to call the shots in the garden . I couldn’t care less, she leaves me alone regarding bikes and stuff so that’s all I care about really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago We swapped from Sky tv & Internet to Virgin tv & Internet, what a big mistake that was. We have their basic package, which is so great! we can't record programmes, back to Sky (even though it costs more) as soon as possible.......
