Last range day I had the place was white and the temperature was in the minus figures, I had already passed an articulated truck which had jacknifed on the black ice on the A1 too. I guess we must be a bit hardier up north tongueout

Wouldn't have minded the snow and temperature. Getting a car onto the range might have been a challenge though and there wasn't great visibility earlier.

If it had still been snowing to the point where you couldn't see out past a few hundred yards then that could be fair enough, but if it was purely because there was snow on the ground then it seems a tad excessive.

Either way, there is always another day. :good:

I think BR was cancelled due to Army needs more than weather.
