Number Six Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 On a journey like you have to Manchester I'd just have a flask of tea or soup instead of the camping stove. Tomorrow will be fine I'm sure - I go most weeks to see the parents/grandparents. I think last week might have been my last go on Woodhead for a while though, visibility was awful and as passable as it is, it only takes one person to make a mistake and the road is closed - not ideal with a toddler. M62 for me for a few months. Last year we nearly got stuck in Chatsworth when the first heavy snow came, which is why I think I'm doing a box this year. Little one was happy with milk from mummy then, but that won't work now, even if mummy is in the car. The kitted out car is the family car so it's always off somewhere. I very much doubt I'd be organised enough to make a flask every time we went out, but with the stove we could get hot water if we needed it. I bet it's got no gas though!

Much as I love Scotland, I doubt we'll be going up in winter again for a few years though. I've no added 6 x small bottles of water, some fruit and nut mix and som chocolate. I think that'll do me for now - hopefully the chocolate will be a nice treat in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
