A group of lads from Somerset in south-west England got together to build their own ski chair, screwing two skis to an old seat, and then towed it around in the snow with a quad bike.

The road test - which actually took place in a snow-covered car park in Street - was captured by drone yesterday (March 2).

Says James, who was involved in making the film: "It's the best way to appreciate the weather: it's fast, fun and super-comfy! If you're going to do it, do it in style! It's the perfect use for an old wicker chair."

The man in the ski chair is Will, a local game keeper.

"Will, who had a road-legal quad bike, is always up for an adventure, too," explains James. "We road it for about six miles and it survived ready for the next time it snows!"

In the video, Glastonbury Tor hill, which is steeped in legend, can be seen covered in snow.

This week much of the UK was blanketed in snow and hit by sub-arctic temperatures as a result of the so-called Beast of the East polar vortex.
