I'm glad you posted this question, because I thought OP had hit frozen sheep, and was like "some sheep froze to death and all you care about is a bloody sledge?"
😅 if miracles happen, I’m prepared. With limited space they’ve been attacking me from the coat closet for years, but I won’t give up on the snowday dream. Forecast actually looks promising (40% on Tuesday)
Plastic bags work well, we used to go sledging on bin liners! Just don't hit any lumps (or frozen sheep shit) or you'll have broken other bits to worry about.
One of my fondest memories is me and my mum were out walking and found a men at work sign someone had left. Bent the 3 corners up a bit and went up and down the hill for hours. Back then of course I could easily fit in the middle.
I had a bonnet off a Ford Mondeo, neighbour had changed the bonnet because it was bent, so us kids tied a rope around the front on the structure and took turns going down on it, nearly no paint left after
Lmao, do they still shear them up there at this time of year? Saw a field full of freshly barbered ones down here in south the other week, felt well sorry for them. I feel cold if I shave my beard rn!
On the positive side, you've invented a new tongue twister...sheep shit shattered son's sledge.
I've been trying to say it for the past 15 minutes, but as I've also got Tourettes, I've shouted "she sharted in her sheep shed!!" repeatedly...much to my lesser half's amusement. I now cannot leave the house until the sharty sheep shed calms down. Ugh!
We have one of those wooden sledges with metal runners and it's great. It was bought probably sometime in the 1950s, no later than early 1970s. It looks as though you can still get them, though I expect they're worse quality than our 50-60 year old one.
Those plastic trays are rubbish. And when they do break people often leave broken plastic over the fields.

Hate to say it mate but that's uh...
Tough shit
Booooooo.
How big was the sheep shit? It's normally just small pellet like turds.
About the size of a child's fist, clump of the wee balls. Could have been deer actually, thinking about it
Oh deer
Oh deer, oh deer
Did you hear the story about the three deer? No? Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Oh deer, oh deer, oh deer
It’s sheep shit. As a farmer I can confirm they can do massive shits.

They clump together to make super turds.
Frozen... Sheep... Shit?
Never ever thought I'd read that sheep shit had destructive capabilities.
Apparently so. Kicked it in anger and it didn't move, either. Not impressed
Could've been worse. You could've broken your foot / ankle as well as the sledge. Silver linings and all that.
My arse took a pounding, and not in the way some people enjoy
I don't know man, that's some pretty impressive shit, literally.
Sorry about your sledge though.
To be fair frozen its like rocks lol
I kicked a frozen horse pile, accidentally cracked a window with one of the “apples”
If pellets of sheep shit destroyed your sledge.... It suggests to me that it wasn't gonna survive long anyways..
Maybe it was a good thing breaking with you onboard and not your little-un
We've used it on the same hill loads the last couple years, just usually in deeper snow.
Just in a grump cause it was the 3rd run and I wanted to be out all afternoon
The other side of the coin is I live in London, have 2 sledges and never used them.
Thats an ambitious purchase, like me in Scotland with sun cream

Fingers crossed for you! Mind out for any frozen shite!
Not too many sheep near me 😂😂 be careful out there yourself!
Woah, that's uncalled for. Always stocked up on the factor 50 here, that does absolutely fuck all for my casper the ghost daughter.
At least sun cream helps the rain bead off

It's not deep enough for that I don't think, I did look at my bin lids on the way back in but it'd mean breaking them. Perfect shape too
Destroy a neighbour's? 😉
I once slid down on an old car bonnet, went over a mound and got air, landed nicely too
You destroyed the frozen sheep shit?
Just slide down on your front like the penguin that you are.
And get frozen sheep shit in my mouth? No thank you. Sounds like a Heston Blumental flavour ice cream

I missed the 'shit' the first two times I read the title. Was wondering which part of the Highlands you live in 🤣
It's not quite that cold yet, but it is the Highlands 🤣
Lmao, do they still shear them up there at this time of year? Saw a field full of freshly barbered ones down here in south the other week, felt well sorry for them. I feel cold if I shave my beard rn!
Saw some in November with a wool fade, not recently though
I bought a beautiful wooden sledge must be ten years ago....still in garage unused! I do live on South coast though 😂
Try and find a couple of granny trolleys in a charity shop and nick the wheels and axles off them!

Grab some fibre enforced filler from halfrauds

I'll be going back when it melts for any little bits. They're bright yellow so managed yo get the big bits.
I like the spinny dish ones
I guess cleaning it off your sledge beats cleaning it off your... uhh... Rosebud.
Destroying the sledge, shit or son?
Grammatically, it would be the shit.
Sorry to hear that you destroyed the sheep shit.
The sheep shit was fine, even after I kicked it. It's still there, taunting me
Ah, glad to hear 👍
I nearly took my knee cap off when it hit a frozen mole hill - ouch
Ooh eck, that sounds bad
Tbf best sledge is putting your coat on back to fro t and going down headfirst
Ewe've had a mare, there
