Have to take my hat off to the caravanner I spotted on the A82 on Sunday on my way back from Inverness. At least they were northbound, where at least, albeit cold (it was freezing when I left), it was sunny and no snow at low levels. The nearer I got to Fort William, the worse the snow (which also hid the dire potholes) but my real nightmare was the last 12 miles to the Lochaline ferry - no plough through since early morning and no grit, plus a white-out (pulled off and got into the sleeping bag). Lifted a bit and crawled on - masses of deer on roadside and you can't see white woolly animals called sheep in that kind of weather.

Good for you braving it!
