Of course we didn't have a sledge to use yesterday so I set about making one. I couldn't find inspiration in the shed, so looked behind it and re-discovered a wooden slatted headboard, whose rear uprights had just the right shape. This was trimmed either side of the first and middle uprights, with two of the cut off slats trimmed to extend the middle and provide somewhere to sit. Some plastic extrusion was cut to size and joined on to provide some skids to run on. It works pretty well towed, the boy is a bit small for going down hills yet - and there aren't any in easy reach either. It got half an hours use yesterday, I suspect that it'll be in the shed untill next year now. If it snows again it might get a better seat.
