Tuesday mtb ride

Today me and roger went out for our first mtb ride for ages. We rode over Leith and did a bit of singletrack. There snow was still squeaky and grippy.

On the ride back we did the usual climb up White Down, it was still hard compacted snow and quite treacherous. On the first bend a 4wd had gone over the edge and was stuck, a little farther up we were shocked to see a Land Rover lying on it's side. Just past the Land rover were three other cars abandoned by the road side.



Unbeknown to us the Land rover was a recent occurence. At the junction there was a police cordon and an officer and the driver of the Land Rover. He said he just been driving down the hill when he started to slide and it turned over. His wife and kids had been ferried away by the police and he and the officer were waiting for the police car to return for them.
