 :signLOL: I am from Saddleworth myself (born n Bred) and all the locals know there are certain roads you dont attempt when its been snowing and especcially if its been snowing with some high winds.

I cant be sure but that looks like the Road between Diggle and Uppermill that goes over the tops, if it is that road they should know better, up there is the land of the Panda 4x4 only in winter  :signLOL:

You'll have to keep an eye out for that GTI then, it appears he / she has done a DIY rear light tint!

Hey guys.... :ashamed: it was meeeee!

I was the 1st person on that road at 6.15am n honestly couldnt see past my bonnet. It was unbelievable. This woulda been taken about dinner time ish.

Its on Platting road between Huddersfirld road and lydgate. I work in Greenfield so was on my usual route to work. Got it back at 6pm! Haha

Ah right, I think I see it now, your heading towards Lydgate a couple of hundred yards down from the crossroads (Star Inn end) should have got that but with all the snow its hard to place it, should have known tho as my mates mum lives about 500yds from there  :happy2:

My mate told me he could not get out of saddleworth on wednesday morning due to snow (Lives in Dobcross and has to climb a hill to get out  :happy2:), he failed so went back home to his missus  :wink:

To be fair if you're in snow that prevents a Mitsubishi L-200 from moving, 'you ain't going nowhere' in your hot hatch  :driver:

Hope you got it back as you left it  :happy2:

Thats the place...

If id managed to get to the other end id have had to come back anyway apparently a treee had fell down blocking the turn to lydgate n down into greenfield. There was noooo way i was walking down n then walking back up later!
