I’m really not looking forward to tomorrow. The route i have goes from essex to canterbury then over to hastings.

I’ll try and take a camera, i did this route when we had heavy snow before Christmas and got stuck on many hills, slid back down one and had to be pulled up one by 3 tractors.

A diary of carnage is on the cards :cry:

I lost my camera :cry: and didn’t see any point in doing just a written one. I’m running round my dads later to borrow his for tomorrow.

Took me the best part of two and a half hours to get from J26 of the M1 to the sheffield parkway exit, supposed to do 2 in bolton and one in manchester then the phone went “turn round don’t bother” (could have rung me an hour earlier when I drove past the yard :imp: )

I Think it was at junction 25 M60 It looked like they were recovering a Unit and 40ft white cargobull plain trailer it looked a mess the cab was mangled the outfit had jacknifed it looked like the trailer has rode over the unit not nice i think it was a plain white unit maybe a Daf ?

My Thoughts are with the poor drivers family. All for just trying to earn a wage

there is no snow in Canterbury ATM, we have good stocks of salt for the roads as well, but it looks like Hastings might be a problem…good luck
