How steep are any slopes, up/down/across? A cross slope is particularly hazardous, is it possible to detour

Weather
•
How windy is it? High wind will adversely affect the stability of a loaded machine, particularly if the load
is bulky.
•
Is it raining or is rain likely? The ground that was solid and smooth when dry will become uneven and
slippery when wet, and it will not give the same conditions for traction, steering or braking.
