Decent places to go sledging!

[supraboy]

It's snowy, I have the weekend off and I have a sledge....

Where's the place to go up here for some sledging action? I'm in Sunderland.

Cheers!

Newcastle Town Moor was always the classic when I was a bairn.

Mill Inn bank field in Seaham looks decent too.

Try the east face of Silksworth ski slope if you dare.

Also Hastings Hill is pretty good, as are Tunstall hills.

The playing fields at Windy Nook, there must have been over 100 people on the hill the other day, I can't get my Son away from the place.

Now I just need to find out where these places are . (I live in Sunderland centre, go to uni here so don't know the area other than the centre and route to campus and Asda lol.

Looks like we are going to be in for a LOT of snow in the next couple of days anyone else guna head out sledging/ skiing etc

Yep. Taking my 4 year old daughter out in the Jimny today to find some good quiet nursery slopes to try the sledge out.

Well, if that's the ASDA at Leechmere, then Tunstall hills are about a quarter mile further up the road. From the top, you'll be able to see the ski slope at Silksworth and several other hills surrounding the area.

Have fun!
