Altogether to proper round here [South East Cumbria]. After 3 weeks of snow and ice I finally managed to crash my Land Rover the other day. Can't think why it hadn't happened sooner. A penalty of living 600ft up a north facing fellside.

Hope both you and the Land Rover aren't too bad, Slioch.

Interesting... when we walking up to the Lost Valley in Glencoe in Sept. we looked at the berries and thought there might be a hard winter, but then the Met Office forecast a 'mild winter'. I guess after their 'barbeque summer' fiasco, I should have just trusted in nature's warning!

I'm sure you know really Kate, but just in case any others think it

a good berry crop doe not indicate a hard winter ahead

That's not another old wives' tale is it, Mole?!

well, it would go against the known (non quantum level) rules of causality!

Mole - I take it then that if you do go into the quantum level anything can happen?

BTW did you crash your landy delibrately? I heard MRT have done that to get through snow drifts to help people in need. They ram the snow to force a way through.

Nah- crash was while descending steep single track lane on ice. Hill-descent control, low box, the lot. Hit a bump and got bounced into the wall. Could have done with landy today as the wind is rearranging the lying snow in interesting and challenging ways.
