Oooop North!

[Johnfrancis]

Will be taking a trip up to Loch Ness next Friday from Kent, got a careful eye on the weather as I hope to be taking the V8V, however, the weather forecasters are lying bds, as we all know, so can the northern contingent of PH let me know what the conditions are REALLY like ooop there?
Many thanks

You're a brave man to do that journey in a RWD car at this time of year

Enjoy, and hope it stays nice for you.

Yeah,( or stupid), last year we went to Keswick, got into a bit of trouble in a couple of passes, once home and dry, did feel a bit pleased with the adventure, so we thought we would push a bit further this year, don't want to bottle out and take Range Rover, but if snow looks possible, will have to succomb

Make sure you pack your bucket and spade JF - and I'm not on about building sandcastles either

I shall light a candle for you

Mmm.....that bad eh?
Eight years ago, me and a few mates drove our motorbikes down to a trackday at Leddenon, in southern France in Febuary!
Arrived to find track under 3ft of snow! The worst weather they had experienced in 30 years!?
We were advised to put our bikes on our trailers and get out of France whilst we could, when we explained we had rode all the way, the organiser ( English man from oooop north) shook his head and said we were the four hardest blokes he had ever met !!! ( he didnt know that on the way up the mountain to the track, two of us were crying)
My point is, how hard can it be?

It sounds like you will be ok on the trip then John.
And there you were try to do some planning for this one.

Checking oil and water levels on Range Rover tomorrow, eight years older, eight years wiser!

Jockman, what if I say I'm strongly in favour of English Independance?? Will that be acceptable?
Thanks for all the advise....will keep you posted.

Why did you change your mind, snow or loss of traction, or just plain cold weather .......

Do tell me when you're off again, there are a couple of us in the Farm Lands of the West Country that like the Highlands

Snow, seems likely to be quite a bit of it,will go for it in spring!
