The plastic gutters and roan pipes on the Visitor Centre building duly came away with the snow avalanching from the roofs. We have escaped lightly but destruction is all around, especially of farm buildings, where I understand that literally hundreds have collapsed in NE Scotland, many on top of the cattle inside. Many of these buildings, I am told, were not manufactured locally but were brought in as second-hand purchases from south of the border. Scant consolation except perhaps to our local manufacturers whose more substantially built structures have largely survived.
We do winter so badly in this country.
Speyside Way car park in Aberlour (or is it a skating pond!!)
And one more favourite snowy photo -
This looks scarey! I am intending to walk the Way at February half term. Is this realistic?
ReplyDeleteHi Spreaders - The answer is "it depends....". We don't really have a climate here, just weather, and this can change dramatically from day to day. We would not normally recommend February as a month for walking the whole Way unless the weather is settled and spring-like - which it is not at the moment. Keep in touch with us for the latest conditions
