Daughter woke me this morning for advice (I know, a 23 year old asking her know nothing father for advice, what next!!!!!)
Her and a pal had a spa day booked at whittle bury hall (near silverstone) and she was concerned about the drive..... blowing a gale all night here (junction 17 M25.) Rickmansworth.
She has a Mini ragtop, and whilst I don't suspect she intended roof down journey, I understood her concerns.
From here, it's M1 or M40 ( tho I know the 41 is an idea)
I've driven her car up to Luton airport via M1 before, and when the wind was picking up a bit, I had to hang on and avoid the artics swaying about.
Christ knows how bad it would be today for a young girl, albeit an excellent driver (drives with the confidence and mechanical aptitude of seasoned pro) in amongst the big stuff in a 'go-cart'.
Love her far too much to take the risk, so advised she tries to reschedule.
People could be killed in those conditions today......I don't want the phone call.
