Newbury is a mess. Again. Trees down, M4 blocked, freezing rain, and my parents are on the way here. Oh joy. Hope they're safe.

I'm cycling through that later!

Watch out for falling trees between B&Q and the Hambridge Lane junction.

Parents have made it as far as M4 J2 in three hours.

Edit - and watch out for the five-vehicle pile-up near the Robin Hood roundabout.

Yep, that's not happening. Left home about 1.45 and we're still on the m25.

Reckon we're going to hit 7 hours on this journey :/

I took one poor guy here at work seven hours to get from Winchester to Basingstoke on Monday!

Traffic is fine, I can cut through it all. Trees, on the other hand, are a killer. Thanks for the warning.

Boo

Good luck for the rest of the journey! Take it easy!

Can't even get out of the carpark at the moment. It's uphill and a lovely smooth sheet of ice.

Will be heading out with a spade and a hammer later on to try to sort it out a bit.
