Doomsday (the day the world stood still) or so they would have you beleive

had been prepared for the snow this morning , even going out Sunday afternoon to buy a new flask. It was filled this morning with steaming hot coffee and I was ready, Got into my car and dropped it straight out of my bag and smashed it on the floor , gutted , I was actually really pissed off, I felt like it was a real blow , the snow started falling faster and I thought i was in for a real hard day .

I was dreading my deliverys this morning because all the news channels were predicting the end of the world today. I set out at around 5 am to get to an old RAF base in North Lincolnshire called Donna Knook. Its usually home to seals and a team of serco engineers and ocasionally NATO use its beach to run practice bombing raids. I took a few pictures of the roads out there and the beach , if you zoom in you will see the dummy jeeps and some helicoptors.





A lot of the roads were passable but I still had to show a lot of care. I made hard work off it and it took me 4 hours driving time to get there.

I took a 45 minute break and hung out with the guys at the range , they were great and made me a lovely cup of coffee. I

Well I felt better after the break so I set off to the next drop in Sheffield , only it wasn't sheffield it was Worksop, I took the backroads again but they had cleared up a lot by now. It was 12 ish and I started running into heavy snow on the M180 , I carried on to the M18 then M1 down to worksop and found my drop , The Pallets went off easy and the people were freindly , always a nice change.
This was the drop at Worksop, Furniss & White



I had to find a customer in Sheffield next , A wood floor , all 35 packs , offloaded by hand and upstairs . I also had to take the truck into a tiny carpark (see pic)


The Wood took over an hour to get off and then I was to go over to Derby for my last drop.


The Last drop was easy to find but took about two hours to get to .
Derby was gridlocked. My drop was @ the RTC business park , its a train builder in Derby and was right next to the side of the railway
I cant get the last picture to post Ill try to do an edit.
Im not in until 12 noon tomorrow , Ill post if I go anywhere.
