Hi Dave lets hope they fix the Cockayne loop by then, I was up there about 6 weeks ago and the road was closed.

We had drive up th loop about 2/3 weeks ago, the road was open. However there is about 1/2 a mile or so that is pretty rough, I think the Forestry Commission have been leading out some more timber again which has taken its toll on the road.

Before the drive we will check to loop out to make sure it is drivable.

That's OK then, the road was physically blocked when we tried.
Hopefully they will have found a bit of tarmac by next year..lol

So we might be needing M & S tyres then....that's "Mud and Snow", not the high street retailer. Although it'd be interesting to see what sort of tyres they'd sell - prob not the latest stylish stuff, but decent quality, and you'd be able to get your money back if they didn't fit.

Now I'm wondering if anyone does S & M tyres...probably perform well when covered in oil and with the weirdest tread pattern imaginable...oooh Matron!!
