Car Emergency kit
- Thread starter Tengu
- Start date
I don't know when you are going , but with the present weather, I'd not want to be driving any distance .
Round here we have had so many accidents on black ice, motorway pile ups and many roads closed or impassable. No buses since Friday due to the road conditions.
Trains and planes are having problems of one sort or another.
Stay home by the fire, and keep safe, there will be other conferences, and it's not worth the risk.

Ive decided not to go. Turns out I can pre record my work.
(Should have told me this two weeks ago).

I’m a bit further north, but to give some indication, the snow started last Wednesday, it’s been sub zero for a week and not much above zero before.
-13.1° last night, at 1100hrs this morning it had got up to -12°
, a cracking day though, bright, sunny and still, absolutely stunning. Looks like it stay like this for the rest of the week, fingers crossed for me!
The main roads round here are black, the side roads, even in the nearest town, are a different matter! Careful driving and decent tyres a must.

A wise decision I think Tengu. It's just not worth the risk right now.
Not the best time of year to get stranded, or worse.
Thankfully, you have a safe alternative.
Yes, and I have learned how to record a powerpoint; useful skill.
But sa at missing my Crannog pals... and their party.

It is indeed a useful skill, especially nowadays.
Could they not set up a laptop and let you at least join in that way ?
The weather is really, really not conducive to travelling at all up here just now. We've put the car away in the lock up and outside of an emergency it can stay there until the black ice melts.
It's -7˚C here just now, and it looks like a winter wonderland, but it's treacherous underfoot.

There will be other parties.
It's a blessing in disguise, you've learned yet another a new skill!
And you won't be worrying your dad sick journeying so far in such nasty conditions. (Or me either!)
This is a brilliant basic list. Likes others here I carry something very similar in a 30ltr duffle bag in my van at all times. I travel up and down the country weekly so its good practice to carry emergency kit, just in case.

During a recent chat with Admin I've changed my view on what maybe of benefit here for the majority of forum members.Really? Nothing?
I forgot that for a minute - posted something , then changed my mind and removed it. -Soz!
