A1 dust storms

[martinmac]

Anyone else get caught in these today. Pretty scary.

 

Going through the ten mile roadworks south of scotch corner the wind was blowing the dust and dirt from the piled up soil across the road.

 

Visibility down to about 20 feet. Quite a few crashes too.

It was on local radio warning about it.

Glad you got through it in one piece.

 

Enjoy Belgium

Horizontal dust being blown over the road, it was like being back in the desert.

I have never been the stay at home type. 16yo in 1973, all over the far east. Shelled in a civil war in Mozambique. A year on a motor yacht in Dubai. Worked for 5 years in the Falklands and a good spell in the South American jungle. All this helps me to cope with where I live now.

I was driving on that road yesterday... no dust storms but man what about those roadworks?! Never seen any that big!

To be honest the 50mph was irrelevant, I could see anything.

You've never wrote a book called 'bravo two zero' did you?
