It's not safe out there!
Just arrived home from a break with the kids in Lancashire. Left yesterday morning heading north on the M6. After a few minutes announcement on the overhead gantries; "M6 closed between junction 34 & 35" mobile call from son telling us roadworks there and 'someone's had just smashed into a crane on the site. So we quickly turned off and got onto the A6. On that driving normally for half an hour when held up by an accident where 'someone' had driven into a wall and knocked it over (looked a new car too!).. Back onto the M6 - M74 (nice to see the Cumberland Gap work in Process - at last!), M73 and onto the infamous A9, a few miles north of Drumochter held up as a van and a car had collided; the car was 50 yards up a bank. Just after Slochd another hold up with a car and a motorbike - well half a motorbike. We usually do this trip in 8 hours; yesterday it was almost 12.. Nice to be back in the 'relatively' quiet Far North.
