Hi Sir Crying,
I will likely be using the A66 later in the year, what is there to dread about the A66?
What sections will you be using?, any tips and hints appreciated.

. But the cars are now fitted with Cross Climate + tyres so if they are as good as shown on YouTube and German tyre tests I look forward to being stuck behind all the cars and trucks who aren't going anywhere on their summer tyres.![]()

As it’s our wedding anniversary on Saturday, I might even treat her to a cup of coffee or an ice cream) somewhere. I know, I know, she’s spoiled, but tells me she’s worth it! I’m just an old romantic at heart really.

They might beg to differ. Properly prepared vehicles, no “wonderful” drivers, just common sense, and in conditions far colder than we’re expecting. Total number of incidents or mishaps was nil.
Speaking personally, like I said we will make a judgement on Wednesday morning. I will not take any unnecessary risks (no more than I do every time that I go anywhere in a car!), hence contacting the site to see what the state of the local roads are. The roads from here to there are main A-roads and motorways, so if they are not 100% clear then we will not go, but WE will make that decision.

We are just about to set off on our 500 mile trip to Arbroath. Vehicle / van / us / safety equipment etc. all checked and ok. With proper preparation and planning it will be approached as any other journey. Can't see the problem......we purchase caravans to be used....not sat on the drive rusting!.
