AK350Z Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 How much snow is there? I know its bad at the moment, but theres a bit of warmer weather over the next two days isn't there? Quote
Vik54 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Thawing today and tomorrow - but think the amount they've had there it'll take more than a couple of days at 5 degrees Stew will be along with a condition report am sure A90 & 92 not too bad today Quote
Stew Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 It's OK Andy. Depending where you are staying. Most main roads are black now. What you up for? Where you staying? PM if you prefer.... Quote
Cragus Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Wouldn't be me but I am sure you will make it there - things are starting to thaw as Vik says! Can't promise you will get out though. Quote
Vik54 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Oh - and I know it'll take you longer but would avoid comin up M6/74/8 - I'd cut over and come up the East Quote
LRF4N Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Depends how long ur there as well- I think there's more to come nxt week Quote
stanski Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Bet you dont go in the Zed Andy Mini Meet Mini Meet! Quote
ZMANALEX Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 You will get there: Eventually. It is the compact snow/ice that is causing the main problems, predominantly on untreated roads. However, a lot of main roads are still severely rutted north of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Quote
AK350Z Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 Have got one night in Aberdeen for a course on monday, and then continuing up to Buckie for 9-10 days at the Beatrice offshore windfarm/oilfield. Staying at the http://www.innattheparkhotel.co.uk/, then at the glam Marine hotel/pub in Buckie. Look amazing on google earth I'm getting picked up in the hire car, so mini meets might not be possible. boo! Quote
Stew Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Inn at the park is alright. I think my cousin works there.... My dad was born in Buckie but it doesn't stop me ripping my work mate that live there about it. Not the finest place.... Quote
AK350Z Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 I know Stew, I've looked on Google maps! Quote
sasha@lazytrips Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I'm off to Bavaria in a few hours (although taking the mighty TT instead). Good luck to all the weekend travellers! Quote
AK350Z Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 Well, we got up here no problem. Nice to see the weather has something else in store for us in the next few days though. Had a wander round Aberdeen this morning for a bit. very nice. Quote
martinmac Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 If you get bored let me know mate, I lost days on end when I worked there. Quote
AK350Z Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 Just landed at 11pm last night Stew. Just had a couple of hours to kill before the course, and then straight up to Buckie. Where about do you work? I walked past the Talisman building in town, no cars over 3 years old in their carpark, was like a showroom! Quote
Stew Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Ah yes, the operators car park! I work for an oil service company so there are no cars newer than 3 years old in my car park! One day I'll work for an operator! I work in a place called Inverurie, if you drove up the A96 you'd have passed it, it's about 20 miles north west of the city. I live about 9 miles west of the city.
