Winter at the hall.

Post by Paul Morris »

Hi Fellas. Just back from walking the dog, and thought i would post a picture of the lane you usually drive down to get to Leighton Hall.

Nice winter scenes. For me snow looks great on christmas cards but when one has to rely on South Eastern rail to get in and out of London you can forget it!! Its been very cold in Kent and the pavements have been like an ice rink. No sign of gritters here either, and rumour has it the council never purchased any grit after using it last year - more savings for council bonuses I expect. When I tested the Tiger in the deep snow last Feb the tracks got completely clogged with snow and the tank woudn't drive, I wonder if the 1:1 scale tanks suffered the same way.

Nice picture looks an old time place.We had a lot of snow in ILL but today it is rainning.Then it will turn to ice,and be hard to get a round.I'm not planning on taking a tank out this year.I had too many problems last year.

Great pics Paul,I think we would need a 1:1 scale to get down that road.
Anyway to all the guys (and Lisa) happy Xmas,hope you all have a good time and manage to get your tanks out despite the weather. In the words of Winston Churchill- "we will not be beaten".
Best wishes
