Small DIY shop on corner of Dunstans and Forest Hill Road (near Herne pub, opposite gated entrance to Peckham Rye) usually sells sledges etc.


Sledging - def Horniman Gardens (so many childhood memories there!). Also the Horniman sandpit park, Sydenham Wells Park and Hilly Fields (SE4)

Def the Hornimamn!But watch out for the empty paddling pool/whatever it is at the bottom. Always end up in there.

Not sure there's enough snow - but see you there...


And yes the DIY store around the corner from us (Dunstans/Forest Hill Road) has sledges (and saw shovels in Sainsburgers) - not sure if DIY store is open today - there's always t-trays

Hi - has anyone had a chance to check out if the Horniman slope is open? On the link which Fuschia posted, it says something about meadow field being closed, but I don't know if that's the slope or not! Maybe the first person who checks it out can post on here? (It's a long trek for us!)

Only just got back (and have still left OH and eldest out there) and it's heaving with kids (big and small) up at Horniman.

Snow's nicely compacted now so it's getting faster (was a bit boring first thing getting stuck in the freshly driven stuff).


Not many staff on at the cafe though - they won't know what's hit them come the lunchtime rush.


Now about to stoke up the barby (OH is Aussie so mid winter bbqs are a regular, if insane, thing) for toasted marshmallows.


Yummmmmmm.

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
