Got to go to work on Saturday, 150 mile round trip to London. I've already pre-pared the car, in the boot along with shovel, blankets, food, water ect, i have a bag of grit. It was 25kg but i'd say more like 10kg's now, box of brake discs that was in the garage, and its got a full tank of petrol.
Was wondering if its worth putting in my large 3ton jack too? Must weight a good 30-40kg's, its more for weight over the drive axel, than actual use to jack anything up
M40 northbound from Banbury is clear this morning at 7am (2 lanes only each way - outside lane unusable), guessing similar southbound.
Wed night - last time I went on A43, 1 lane clear-ish each way - bit dicey in places. Guess thats cleared.
Biggest issues I've had is getting up and down the slopes in Brackley - gave up with Halse Road (the flattest), as too many selfish idiots on the road, plus I struggled to turn into high street.
Admittedly, I've been using FWD car - too cold to fix the MV6!!
Not sure what all the cars parked at ATS are all about, guessing they cannot get up that small hill.
Leaving my road towards Radstone road is a bad idea, its buggered all around there, not enough cars to clear it, but enough to churn it all up.
Halse road is about the clearest, will use that to get to the high-street then A43 i rekon.
Put the jack in there anyway to aid with traction, biggest problem i have is just getting out of my road i think.
ATS - bet they are for people who work in units down below ATS (the old train track), thats a fair slope down there.
My road is now littered with cars abondonned at bottom end - nobody can get up that little bump where road goes from black to red. Me included
Fortunately, I'm close enough, and my drive was cleared, that I slapped a rope and a pole together, and towed the Rover back on drive with the MV6. She's walking to Tescos instead!
