    I have a super whizzy sledge, with metal runners and everything, plus a good 8-10cm of snow! Sadly the 'teen-in-training' doesn't want to go out :D
    :rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:

    Thank you so much everybody for all your suggestions. Everywhere still out of stock locally. DH actually made one out of some plywood lying around and we have also managed to borrow a plastic one. Hope everyone else manages to get hold of one and has lots of fun!
    I will buy a sledge when they are back in stock and probably half price in July/August!
