"roofbox" sell snow claws, and that looks like the only option right now.

Sorry got confused. Well spotted.Yes Spikes-spider may work with 20" as there is not so much loose chain to bang around. Would need a phonecall to Roofbox to seek their advice and prob a visit to try them on before I would buy. TDV6 - gone

Well I'm back and the RRS is in one piece Ended up borrowing some chains from a friend with a L200 as the chains listed for my wheels were the same as his. They fitted but clearance was an issue so really didn't want to use them.

When we got there the roads were clear and we drove into our snow filled parking space without issue.
By the time we had to leave we had really heavy snow fall and at 6am the ploughs hadn't been out!! In to snow mode and we were moving.... Seemed to manage OK all the way down the mountain and back up again - most 2WD cars were wheel spinning all the way up to the police who let us pass without putting chains on!! Saw about 5 RRSs the whole week and even got a flash and a wave from a French one!!

Guys you don't need to go all that way to go skiing - my house is only 34m above sea level in Central Scotland and you can have great fun here without all that driving across foreign lands







Although it rained here yesterday it is snowing again now. The A9 snow gates are closed at all the usual places - Drumochtar and Tomintaul but you don't need to go to the regular Scottish resorts to get enough snow for skiing! And there's no requirement for snow chains in this country!!! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

This road is always being mentioned on the traffic news every morning on the radio... I think it's become a bit of a running joke

Tim in Scotland - Looks like you've got as much snow as the Alps!!!

LOL @ VA

MDP - Skiing was very good, didn't want to come home. Had about a foot or more of snow every night. Apres was also very good indeed, although towards the end of the week we were in bed by about 9! Old enough to know better,

Mole, it's probably easier for you to get to Switzerland from the south than it is to come up here - and with the lift fees they charge at Aviemore, cheaper too!

Interesting to see from Mole's photos of the rear hatch of their car that the snow has slipped off mine in exactly the same way ......... the rear wiper is also an avalanche preventer!  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
