Why I was a kid, back in the 80's when it used to snow this much, my dad bought me a sled. 2 of them in fact. Now me and my mate want to go to a good place to go sledding, anyone thing of somewhere good?

Have you tried a big hill?

Saila · 03-12-2010 03:29AM

Looked like more of a small mound.

while your at it, keep kids indoors [they might drown in snow deeper than their ankles] ban football [someone might get hit in the face] and anything else the genius' at I know Im a boring mindnumbing anxious retard health and safety can inflict on anything thats fun

alot of people dont know this but sleds work better on completly flat ground, also dont forget to clear the snow, it only get in the way.

and remember the main thing thats needed for sledding... imagination

There's no time for that, young man. You need to sell some papers!

Go down a hill making sure you zip right across the road through oncoming traffic..............deadly buzz!

Failing that get some turf / coal bags, they fly down a hill!

Wherever people went before you could ask online.

The Curragh in Kildare is awesome for sledding.

Well I was out in Deer Park golf course in Howth yesterday, there was loads of people there. Even though there was some snow last night, the hills there should still be compacted pretty well, so you wont have to spend much time getting the snow right for sledding. Up by the resevoir seemed the best spot, but there were more people down further so it was probably a better spot.

Just don't go down the Military Hill in the Pheonix park, my BF did last year and he broke 2 vertibrae in his spine, he's better now thank the flying spagetti monster.:)

Son Of A Vidic · 03-12-2010 02:47PM

OP - I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but if it's the same sled you used as a child? Then you may need to add some significant reinforcement to it.:D

SeaFields · 03-12-2010 02:50PM

A sled? OP is very posh.

We used to go sliding on the snow on a big black bag when we were growing up.

Good times

Dusted of my old sled, now need somewhere to go
