I'm in NE Scotland not too far from Cairngorms and some of the highest roads in the UK. When it snows I'm always trying to get the time to run up the Lecht (630m) or the A93 at Glenshee Ski Centre (over 600m) or a single track above Ben Lawers next to Tarmachan Ridge (580m). There are other places if there's a good snow, much lower down. We have miles and miles of single track here, but most of it you need permission to drive on, unless the gate is open and there is no sign! (I don't drive off the tracks on vegetation) Almost always have snow my mid-Dec. These pics were from the single track near Ben Lawers in late Nov. It melted since then, we had some on Boxing Day, but been too warm for much except on the highest peaks like Ben Macdui and Lochnagar (I mean proper, snowshoes needed kind of snow). As you probably know, we're going to get a good one next couple of days. The Lecht is showing heavy snow all day and heavy at times for the next three, so I think the white stuff is finally here to stay, fingers crossed. I love driving in it when it's not been gritted. A foot of pure snow and a few deeper drifts without grit is the best (most fun) way to really clean wheels, tyres and other bits underneath
