Anyone in Surrey with a 4 x 4? I need a lift to Gatwick
Discussion
MC, I'm sure you're aware they've closed Gatwick at the moment...? 
Even if you find a saviour with a 4x4 steed, you may only end up stuck at the airport. Hope it works out for you though.
Ah, just checked and it's open again; hope you successfully navigate any delays.

The roads in and around Crawley/Gatwick are fine so you shouldn't have too much difficulty getting in once you get out from home

I'm going to be going on an important mission next week that involves travelling to the French Alps with my wife and sliding down some of them on planks. It's no holiday, let me tell you.

Attitude - always the way to get free rides out of strangers in dangerous conditions!

I really hope you get there on time mate - I've seen your other posts about this and it sounds like it should be a damned good trip!
Good luck and if all else fails, well, walk - get some practice for your holiday, sorry, non-holiday
Cheers

I can claim the cost of the trip (but not the equipment required) on insurance, however that isn't the point.

Like he said - great practice and your bound to get there in time

Or book a taxi from somewhere accessible you can walk to
Are you sure your flight is running, my husband was due to fly in to Heathrow from Korea today, their plane along with many others was diverted to Brussels, they were held on the tarmac from 17:00 - 23:00 they have just been put in a holding pen, they can't make alternative arrangements as they are not allowed to leave the airport and their luggage is still on the plane. There seems to be about 300 flights in the wrong place tonight, with no plans for flying until at least after 10:00 tomorrow.
Just get someone with a BMW from this thread they're great in the snow.
