Stormy Weather

[Mahlerei]

Welcome to our new base camp. While the chill winds blow through the Beeb and the snow piles up outside grab some coffee and/or a duvet and get posting.

Bless you, Mahlerei, for reviving this old favourite from the Beeb days. As I wrote on their dying embers a few moments ago, we have no snow here but, in the street, I saw a couple of brass monkeys commiserating with each other. :p

lots of snow here but nice to have a new home - we await salymap and then all will be perfect - hope your son gets well soon mahlerei.

I've just unearthed, at the back of a drawer, the Yaktrax Walker thingies that you slip on over your shoes so that you can walk on ice, etc with total security. They are one of the most useful things I have ever bought - last year I could walk on the ice, etc with total security as people were slithering hither and thither on the Bristol hills.

Highly recommended

I've got the compact ice grippers from here:

That's a coincidence - I thought a few days ago of contacting you to remind me what the beasts were called, after you expressed satisfaction with them last year.

And a choice of two styles, with Mary's Ice Grips!

Sorry, it's Glorious Weather here at the moment :)

[johnb]

ff, if you are intending to buy either of those I would advise you to do so now.

Last year, I had the devil of a job to find an online supplier with any stock as I had left it too late into the winter.

[Chris Newman]

Hi salymap,
Well, I've made it.

Mind you I haven't had much success getting the ice-shoes recommended by our friends on this thread: my size 9 feet just happen to be common as muck. :(

[Mahlerei]

Hi Sal

Glad to see you've landed safely. I think most of the old gang had made it to the dark side but may not be posting yet.

Towards the top left of the page, click on "Forum", then "Community", then "Member List".

BTW, what's the best way to download images on this board?

Wonderful that you are here salymap - it just would not have been the same without you - I shall go for a walk in the snow with Dvorak to celebrate

BTW, what's the best way to download images on this board?

When you are writing your post you will see a 'toolbar' above the text.

You click on the seventh icon along (the one that looks like a square with blobs at each corner).

It seems that the file needs to be on your PC.

Assuming you meant uploading images to this board, Mahlerei, I'll attempt to do a post in the Announcements section, because your question is likely to be a regular one here.

(edit: have just seen johnb's post, which covers one method)
