Wife`s mobility scooter doesn`t like `em much.  I don`t like running through them, it`s like soft sand.  Now Daisy May`s quite happy being pulled; she goes anywhere we lead.  But she won`t be pushed!  Small and of not inconsiderable bulk (too much sitting around doing nowt) she will not be pushed through chippings.

The site I am typing this from has an abundance of `em.  Like, a level looking site with hardstanding.  NOT!  Because the wheels dug in to about 9 inches of `em,.  And my attemptes to help enabled the car to dig itself in too.  Now, my car pulls Daisy well.  But it`s not a tractor . . . .eventually I rocked the ensemble out of chipping captivity, and on to a more stable site.

I suspect my reverse release mechanism may not be properly adjusted.  Or not even there . . . I shall check as soon as the weather reaches 70 deg . . . .

Anybody else had fun in the chippings?  Gotta be better than snow . . .

I have 2 (home made) aluminium ramps to use when getting caravan up the kerb into the drive. if I am pitching on anything that looks a little soft I put them under caravan wheels.

Now, don`t tell me no one has had problems with chippings (or soft mud) on a caravan park . . .the good news is my reversing release seems to work well after all; Happy Days!
