This year the BBC wrote a piece on the rest and be thankful with a headline that included the phrase: an infamous road through a mountain in torment. That description of torment was from 1913. Indicating, that the challenges of the location, perhaps the most challenging site that Transport Scotland manages, have been long running.
The A83 runs for almost 100 miles from Loch Lomond to Campbletown at the foot of the Kintypre penisula. The one section, near the rest and be thankful– has become infamous for landslips, closures and long diversions.
This podcast features an interview with Professor Mike Winter exploring what we can learn from elephants in Burma to what trees in British Colombia might tell us about managing rainfall.
