Applecross

Did anyone see the Winter Rescue programme on Channel 5 last night it showed the Highland Council snowplough team from Applecross clearing the Pass of the Cattle eventually they got stuck in a huge snowdrift wedged on the crass barrier on one of the hairpin bends after 4 hours of digging they had to request help in the shape of a council JCB from
Applecross which dug them out when they got back to the top they closed the road until the snow melted.

No Jim that was the one in Northumberland.
I must say I was impressed by his Snow Socks I did not have much faith in them untill I saw that last night.
I might look about for some but I dont want to have to jack the van up to fit them

Yes, I watched it. I must admit when we travelled over the pass I never gave a thought to those who kept it clear in winter.Such cheerful chappies as well!!
