Road Opening Delay
It appears now that Alder Carr Lane and Pry Hills will not open until Tuesday 23 February, because of ‘weather delay’ officially, equipment failures unofficially.
‘Be patient’, according to the road sentry!

First Frost On Chimney Bank
… and the first major incident of the winter when the Arla milk tanker skidded on ice and failed to make the first hairpin bend at the bottom of Chimney Bank. Fortunately the tanker was empty otherwise it could have ended up in one of the pony paddocks on Daleside Road.
Recovery under way. Lesson: don’t ignore the signs!
It is said the the driver handed in his notice immediately afterwards!
Afternote: the tanker driver is called Mac Wheeldon and recently e-mailed to say “I will be taking my wife out to see the spot I almost lost my life! Also to see the stunning area you live.” Look forward to seeing you here, Mac.
Lovely New Roads!
Shiny new road surface all ready for @letouryorkshire in Rosedale Abbey.
