I remember the cart on wheels. We went down a hill, and sadly when we reached the bottom , the whole thing collapsed. (the cart, not the bottom) :-D

We used to use shovels (in summer downhill on grass, in winter downhill on snow)...... sit on them and use the handle to steer! Mum could always tell when we took the shovel from the coal shed :-D

I've seen expensive plastic "snow toys" that look just like those shovels!

If I may be so bold to add a new post to this list..On our way to and from school we would roll down to the bottom of this big hill in the park..No shovels ,cardboard,or wheels for us..We would lie horizontal to the hill and roll over and over until we reached the bottom. Then climb up and do it again..It,s a wonder we ever got to school.. :-) :-) :-) :-) ;-) ;-)
