A31, M3, M27, A337 - Wish me luck!

This is my planned route to the folks tomorrow after work- I guess I'd just better check the travel news all day.

Any comments appreciated- will put off until Xmas morning if necessary...

Supposed to very cold and icy overnight but then again the gritters know about this. So i guess you better be prepared to sit for hours on ungritted roads, lol.

Nah you should be fine as most of the main roads are being looked after pretty well...apparently.

Yeah- few reports on the BBC travel re these roads and ice now. As I'm on two wheels, I'm being even more careful...

M27 was on news today about being like an ice rink. Guy went to change from inside lane to middle lane and skidded to the outer lane. Sounds fun!!

I image the A337 through the forest will be a nightmare.

depends what was a little further down the hill that you can't see past the house tbh, Paignton has some v steep bits so here are some options:

Big hill and a main road at the bottom
Large truck coming up the hill
Sight of the mother in law
Burning oil trap of doom
six foot metal spikes erected by the locals

There could b a few things ;-)

Big hill and a main road at the bottom - woohoo lets slide into the main road on our butts instead of in a car! Yay!
Large truck coming up the hill - Woohoo, lets slide under a truck on our butts rather than have the car protect us a bit! Yay!
Sight of the mother in law - understandable bail out
Burning oil trap of doom - Probably warm up quicker out the car than in, so good call to bail.
six foot metal spikes erected by the locals - locals sound cool.

Your forget the obvious one tho. Any idiot that drives around with his back wiper going full tilt hasnt much brain. They probably get out at Tesco like this every weekend too.
Idiots. You gotta love their comedy value to us smart folk.
