glrnet Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm hoping the Scottish contingent will offer some friendly advice to a Sassenach If the weather conditions don't change for the better, what are the chances of driving to Glasgow from Cairnryan A) safely and in a reasonable time? ( I usually manage this in about 2 hours). Don't worry I'm not taking the Zed but will be in the van, my ferry from Larne is next Wednesday 15th. Any advice greatfully received.

ZMANALEX Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Well let's put it this way Graham: DHL, UK Mail and Parcel Force have suspended all there collections until the 13th December from most post codes in Scotland. If your journey is not really necessary then I would advise that you stay well away at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewan221 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 keep an eye on http://trafficscotland.org/ The A77/M77 has not been to bad so far though it took me about double the time to go from Ayr to Glasgow yesterday. Was speaking to a traffic cop last night and he said the biggest prob at moment in sun dazling dirty windscreens and blinding drivers, he had to deal with 4 rear enders yesterday. I had probs keeping screen clean as mine kept freezing (was -9) and at times you literally could not see a thing - didnt help that some idiots were slaming on the brakes when they coudnt see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
