Is that a surprise or unexpected?

 

It is January in Britain!  

It is Winter, and it is what happens sometimes, in Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn and again in Winter.

It's snowing again here - eeeek!

Are you up in the Pennines?  Manchester snow free at the mo, but I have to drive over the Pennines  tomorrow.

Heavy snow now!

Winter don't usually snow in Britain!

Nah not Pennines!

The Snake Pass always gets closed so quickly :( shame as it's beautiful around there, especially after a bit of snow

It does doesnt it. Its usually the Snake and the Cat & Fiddle that get closed first around here.

It is lovely yeah. I like riding it on the bike in summer.

I wouldnt like to be risking the M135 on that road in the snow though .

I used to cycle around there before my tendons went a bit funny nowadays I'd take the Vitara up there if I was driving in the winter

Love the snakepass too - shame my hybrid not much fun on there these days :(

Great. Thanks I've just got to make a quick trip there and back first thing, so I might even take the Baby Beemer.

Ploughed through heavy sleet / snow (0.5C) on the A80 going through Kabulnauld this afternoon on my summers - nae bother  .

-1 this morning....brrrr

Glad I still got my all-seasons on

-2 here at the moment.

Gritters out again last night. Cars well frozen up this morning.

Can it be summer again please?

From late October to late March if I DON'T see a gritter, it's a Dear Diary Moment.

And are you referring to the same summer where for the majority of the time I go to work and it's hovering around 0°C and am greeted with the Warning of Ice bong??

Should probably move away from Glasgow then .

I couldnt live there. My hobby relies on atleast a little sun.

I keep thinking of riding up to Scotland for a ride around, but the weather puts me off bothering

Glasgow is West Coast wet Scotland and not that cold a place, 

come visit up the sunniest parts of Scotland the East Coast & the North East Coast, where it is cold and sunny and the roads are 

fun. (Avoid the potholes though.)

It is still February and the Winter Fuel is in Filling Stations till the end of March, the Lambing Snows have not arrived yet, 

and the skiing season is really just under way so the best roads over the mountain (hill) passes and cleared as soon as possible every day.

 

Lovely weather, and just the time winter tyres are needed, until after Easter maybe.

Some of the best road for biking pass through the Ski Centres and other minor roads lower down are fantastic.

 

Then you can never go wrong through Glencoe (Trunk Road, so if it can be open it is.) and you are passing the Ski Centre and plenty of Hot Drinks and Food available there or at the nearby Hotels and Hostels.

Cheers George! Ill keep that in mind.

Itll take 4 hours of motorway before i even get anywhere near, so id prob spend a night somewhere n do it over 2 days tbh.

Not got a route planned yet but ill get somethin together at some point!

Cheers! (:

Look forward to meeting you, just get to Perth and me and others will set you off on the best roads and provide you with 

Deep Fried Pizza & Irn-Bru.

This next 2 months can be the best of all,

but midweek anytime of the year in the Grampian Region gives great driving / riding.

Awesome scenary - awesome driving roads!

What car?

What camera u using?

Reminds me in my convertible with my go-pro a couple of years ago in Scotland

Just links taken from Youtube, i would not film my self driving.  My favourite roads though.

 

This is doing the opposite direction during the last day of a 10 day heat wave March 2012

and 12 hours later the roads were closed with blizzard like conditions.

(& Glenshee / A93 last February, Scorchio.)

The first one leans a little more in the corners than even my SE Fabia.

Must be a bike then
