Naturally I don't know how much Nelly weighs, but I would estimate that the farm gate we were carrying weighed about 3/4 of a hundredweight, or about 84 pounds (6 stone), and I would hazard a guess that Nelly weighs more than that :wink: :lol:

I wonder if they supply special wheelchairs for Glastonbury which would be more suitable for the mud. Something like those they have for using on the beach might be a good idea, with balloon-like tyres?
