You forgot to mention the 6km toboggan run and the fact that ALDI have some warm ski clothing still in stock and going for a song!!!!!!!

That'll stir up some interest!

 

[jaygee]

You will all be very relieved to hear that I have been able to get a pair of black salopettes the right length so the flourescent pink ones have been returned to TK Max

Don't worry, it's included in the toboggan run price along with the cable car and obligatory helmet!

Good result on the Salopette front though!

I've just bought a 12v one from Go Outdoors - a RoadPro I think - and whilst it's not anything as good as the 240V it seems OK.

Oh Jaygee , nought wrong with the pink salopette's ..it was only mine were way too big in the leg for me very baggy, ..they wear the brightest and mixed patterns possible x
It is how they feel on you, comfort is the utmost important factor, with mine I felt most uncomfortable x

Yep seen it, and they are warning on the news that it is going to be -3 here etc

In october we had -7 n -9 in Wales haha

 

[Forestboy]

Been debating wether to put an extra bottle of gas in. Guess its a no brainer now I'll put 2 in. :thumb:

 

[chrisgreen]

minus 28 thats cold
if you have water traps on your diesel fuel system,be sure to clear them out,or if you have a bleed valve on the bottom of the fuel filter,run a bit out to clear any water in your filter,diesel will start to wax at minus 9.5 so minus 28 is way below the waxing point of diesel,might be worth concidering an additive,:thumb:

Good advice Chris.:thumb:

One would hope that diesel purchased in Alpine France would be OK for the job in hand. In the Army, Kero was used as an anti waxing agent.

A bit of research on the French filling station websites might be called for! It'll be a bit chilly if our Webasto packs up due to waxed diesel!!!

No need for any diesel adatives mate, In the Alps all diesel purchased is already done for you. Generally we fillup at the base of the mountain ensuring we get the fuel of the region. Seen it as low as that and never had any problems. Also remember that due to the height the sun is quite strong during the day. Lifting the bonnet and allowing the sun to heat the engine keeps it all working. About 6 years ago we had -27 and no problems other than a frozen outlet pipe. :Cool:

Deffinately extra Gas is required. we have 3 large bottles and look at using a bottle every 3 days, not sure what the swift is going to use though, could be off teh mountain by Monday and off elsewhere to get gas, or checking in to a Hotel.

anyhow just checked a few more reliable weather sites and seeing temps around the -9 mark which is more realistic and if it is that cold its only because the suns been out all day :thumb::thumb:
