So '62 or '63 could equally have been the winter of sledging down
unmade roads and failing to negotiate the left-hander after the steep
section. As for cycling after school-friends and having them turn to
see the bike slide from beneath me on the ice. And walking on the
frozen Basingstoke Canal from Horsell to Woodham - we had proper
winters then.

I think the snow on 31/12/61 didn't last more than a few days, so those
memories are much more likely to have been from 1962/3.


Sounds right for the company sledging - thanks again.
