BBC ALBA - Rathad na Deighe/Ice Road Rescuers, Episode 3

Tha maoim-sneachda air a leigeil air falbh. An avalanche is set off to secure a road.

Documentary series following Norwegian towing teams. In this episode, an avalanche is set off to secure a road that is in danger of being covered.

Gach bliadhna, tha sneachd a' gheamhraidh san Nirribhidh a' dèanamh rathaidean nam beanntan cunnartach le reothadh, a' cur nan ceudan de làraidhean mòra far an rathaid. Tha Rathad na Deighe a' leantainn nan gaisgeach Lochlannach seo a' dol a-mach gus cobhair a thoirt do na làraidhean airson am faighinn air ais air an rathad.

Tha Thord Paulsen agus a chriutha ann an Odda agus Bjørn Lægreid, a tha ag obair na aonar ann an Eidfjord a' farpais gus tiotal an luchd-sàbhalaidh rathaid as fheàrr a chosnadh. Tha cabhag air Bjorn crann-sneachda a chàradh oir dh' fhaodadh seo buaidh a thoirt air cùisean, mura tèid a chur ceart. Cuideachd tha aige ri ministear riaghaltais nan rathaidean a dhràibheadh timcheall gus lorg fhaighinn air rathaidean a dh' fheumas obair leasachaidh. Tha iad cuideachd a' leigeil maoim-sneachda air falbh a dh' aona ghnothaich, airson rathad faisg air làimh a dhèanamh nas sàbhailte.

It happens every year. The harsh Norwegian winter turns mountain roads into bob sleigh tracks, and forces hundreds of 50-tonne trucks off the road. Ice Road Rescuers follows the daredevil Norwegian towing teams who set out to rescue these trucks and trailers on the icy mountains and get them back on track.

Enter Thord Paulsen and his crew in Odda, and lone wolf Bjorn Laegreid in neighbouring Eidfjord, both competing to be the best Road Rescuer. Bjorn rushes to fix a snow plough that could have knock-on effects in the future if he doesn't succeed and also ends up driving the government minister for roads while he is looking for roads to prioritise for future upgrades. Also, an avalanche is set off to secure a road that is in danger of being covered.
