What a journey! We had rain and strong winds, then approaching Scotch Corner we ran into mist. The stop at the services was most welcome. 

Not as bad as the journey experienced by our eldest who, like us, was heading to Yorkshire for a pre Christmas get together. His train from Newtonmore was cancelled and a bus service put on instead. This meant that he missed his connections and finally arrived at York Station at 10.20 pm. A taxi to the pub where we were staying and he was in time for a pint before bed.
