glenatronHeavy snow started the day. We were able to get to the ponies alright but it was snowing enough that we saw a snowplough go past on the other side of the road and fifty yards behind it you wouldn't have known it had been through. The cars behind it were lucky though- further down the hill a jack-knifed lorry was blocking the southbound carriageway.
The road up to the ponies is a long, narrow, high-banked hill. We managed to get most of the way up there running largely on the hope that we wouldn't meet anyone going the other way as practically it was a little hard to stop. A few hundred yards from the yard, we met one of the other liveries coming the other way. They hit the brakes, we hit the brakes and I steered for the bank and we slowly crashed into each other. It was pretty slow and quiet bump but it squashed the corner of my car nastily and I'm going to need a new indicator and probably a new wing. So that sucks.
Probably as well that this went right of my budget really...
We do have some snowchains now, borrowed from my parents, so we shouldn't get too badly stuck, although we will get very muddy if they need to be fitted...
