On a few occasions I’ve wondered if a stationary motorhome could blow over. I know now! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjje0l85p3no
Good grief. Lucky escape for them.On a few occasions I’ve wondered if a stationary motorhome could blow over. I know now! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjje0l85p3no
I would say highly sensible rather than fortunate.We stayed within a few miles of Shieldaig a while ago and at one point it was difficult to even stand in the wind. Fortunately we were pointed directly into wind.

Exactly right.Is that the new road Bill enroute to Applecross with Rassay in the distance?
Terry, it’s Raasay not Rassay!! I know because our 1 year old grandson in Penicuik is called Raasay. Brilliant name because gifts seem to be Raasay gin and whisky! His dad now wishes he’d given him the middle name of Talisker!!Is that the new road Bill enroute to Applecross with Rassay in the distance?

Is that the road that was new last century?Is that the new road Bill enroute to Applecross with Rassay in the distance?
Aye, and the real locals, or those still living, still call it the new road, constructed last century.Is that the road that was new last century?
I fully understand. The 'new bridge' in Hereford has been open for nearly 60 years.Aye, and the real locals, or those still living, still call it the new road, constructed last century.
I don’t know the raid history, although I assume construction paid for by local council or the then Scottish Office. If Embassy were involved, I wonder how many coupons were used?I fully understand. The 'new bridge' in Hereford has been open for nearly 60 years.
Am I right in remembering that the land belongs to the family that owned Embassy tobacco, and they paid for the Applecross road to be built?
