Saturday 14th February

[Rev Chuck]

It has been snowing quite well down here in the Borders, well Hawick certainly, since about 07.30, and there seems to be no let up looking at the sky. None of the original snow has really gone, so we are building in layers. Global warming! I think we are closer to another ice age. But lets not get started on that - lets keep Saturday as the topic.

Good thing about all this snow, the dog just loves the snow - goes absolutely bonkers.

There's hardcore then there's just the plain daft

This en-route to Applecross Jonny?

I did eventually get home from the rig. Based on todays temperature and the icey roads I am officially crying off I recon a trip over Glenshee would be a silly thing in this weather so I am going to take the dog out in the 4x4 and get my camera oot If anyone does head out take care

Just back from Embrie and the main roads seemed fine.

Does anyone know whit the roads are like north of Perth ie the A9 to Pitlochry? I'm still up for lunch there (Moulin Hotel) if there's a few more fancy it. I think Glen Lyon might be a bit optimistic gi'en the recent weather. I'll make a final decision when I see whit the weather's like tomorrow, unless everyone reckons waitin' on better weather is the best option in which case we can cancel this noo and save pissin' aboot checkin' on here for weather bulletins and seein' who's goin' and who's no' tomorrow mornin.

Guid idea but I'd rather find oot if I'm gonnie be the only ane there afore I leave. That way, I'll stay at hame.

Well minded aboot a time though. Lunch at 12.30

 

[it wisnae me]

i'm coming oot

no matter what i'm going oot the morn.
i plan on leaving dunbar at 10,head up what ever that road is.if i can get to the hotel at 1230,i'll see some of you there.
if the weather gets bad i'll turn around.
i just want to get oot
anybody else heading up fi this neck of the woods?

 

[turpin]

If i can get the bike out the drive i'll be there see how it goes tomorrow.

As far as I am aware the A9 north of Perth up to Pitlochry is clear as is the short hop up to the Moulin Inn. Glen Lyon is suspect which could be made worse if it freezes over night as i doubt that they will grit this road.

Thought about coming, but there's two miles of untreated forestry track between me and tarmac. Since I almost put my Discovery through the fence on the track two days ago, I wouldn't trust myself to stay on the bike. Or upright.
