Hi All,
We have now spent over £500 equipping Mountain Innovations bus for winter. We have renewed all the winter tyres using top class swedish ones (Gislaved) as usual and for the first time we have invested in some snow chains. Generally snow tyres are a far more practical solution to Britain’s snowy roads but since we are often using low priority roads (as far as ploughing goes) early in the day we have invested in chains just as a back-up.
We have also found 2 reliable rentable souces for snow-shoes. Last season, for the first time in many years, saw repeated heavy snow fall on light winds which made walking in the deep soft snow slow going at times. The begining of this winter has somewhat been the same though generally more windy and the snow on the mountains is consolidating.
We are prepared though. So come and join us and this winter wonderland up here.
Andy
