I remember the snow came the day the secondary teachers strike started in the begining of february (could it have been planned better?) and both snow and strike lasted about 3 weeks.Happy days!!! My legs were worn out running back up Baynes Hill get get another slide down on my tobboggan. To say that there were over a hundred people on the hill at any one time would be no exaggeration. I was to busy on Baynes to check out Flannellys Field or Blackfort but by all accounts these were crowded too.
