Heading home from a forest near Huntley today. The route would usually take me over Glenshee. Light snow, maybe an inch or two. so I was not bothered..... till I got to Braemar where Plod was parked at the snow gates - "Road Closed sir, Tayside have already locked the gates on the other side...". Discussed a couple of options with him, to find that the only available route was to double back towards Aberdeen, cut down to Stonehaven and Dundee.... Roughly 95 miles of a diversion.
...much as I love our mountain roads - Closed by an inch of snow is a bit much. The owners at Glenshee must be raging. What a weekend to lose their trade. The cop said that the decision had been made because there had already been 3 accidents.
