C5 Winter Road Rescue - Now

[Six Fiend]

Should be fun, I was up in Scotland heading to Lossiemouth in the big snow last year...

[Laurel Green]

Had to leave the plough up there for two week.

Snow socks to the rescue

What do snow plough drivers do the rest of the year? Looks quite fun, despite the dangers.

Empty lots of these
into a big pile ready for the next winter.

Or stand around with hairdryers drying out seawater?

Also I thought the Applecross was closed all winter? Last time I was in the Highlands was early November a couple of years ago and I wanted to drive it again and the information board said road closed. Or is this a bit of a ruse just to ensure tourists stay off it, leaving it free to the locals?

That old woman in the merc, I bet that driveway wasn't sheet ice untill she got to it at 6,000rpm.

[Laurel Green]

Heads up, just starting.

No change with as*holes on the hard shoulder

Seems like another hr of Faux danger.......... (like that disco 4 "struggling" to get up the hill, when in fact it just stopped to let the car ahead go, then just drove off without even a hint of wheel spin!)

Unbelievable that they put a shelter from the elements ahead of safety.

Hard to believe that delivery driver took the truck up that farm track.

[Leptons]

Great. Another C5 self-important, attention we parade. It's making the Stobart show and Ice road truckers look good.

I thought that but the driver did say he had been up similar roads to do deliveries. Or was he just trying not to look a complete knob!?

[Simpo Two]

Not impressed with the cock who called the RAC, then sat in his car, then turned them away and said his uncle would do it. Hope he's still there!

But he was only following his sat nav!
