It was the wind that nearly caught me out this morning.  While going over the ridge on the M40 at a steady Rte of knots  I hit the storm which had passed by us earlier that morning.  The ridge had funnelled the wind and concentrated it  to a point where the rear end stared to step out.
........

It can be interesting when the wind funnels down the M40 chalk hills near High Wycombe. A 3.2 can, allegedly, see the end of the clock going down there with a tail wind. 

That's exactly where it was but instead of a tailwind it was a sidewind that came out of nowhere.

Squeekybum moment for sure

I could hardly see the road in front of me on the M62 yesterday. Wind throwing the rain straight at the windscreen. Overtaking trucks, with the spray they throw up, was generally a leap of faith.

I believe it's been snowing today on the M62 near Jason

I think in our younger days, everyone has tried to max their transport down Chickenshit Canyon (aka M40 cutting)

Far more fun to use the A40...

We've had rain fall every single day in this sodden bog since November 17th ,couple that with the wettest summer since the beginning of time and it's getting on for a year of grey , windy bleak weather .
And I complained about the weather back home in Scotland ..............should have stayed there .

The bends stop flat out capabilities. Although I agree, still fun on the rare occasions the bumblers of this world are elsewhere.
