Going North on the A9
|
Talking of day-cards, I have just realised we have made an omission, which is just a 'heads up' really about a possible diversion.
On Day 2, we leave Thurso going West across the top coast on the A836.
I read in a paper from up-North recently, that the Police have been granted powers to close a nine mile section of the A836 between Dounreay & Scrabster, to allow 'shipments' to be transported.
An alternative route via Shebster & Westfield is signposted during these closures.
This could happen at any time (between 08:00 & 06:00) but we would have to be very unlucky for it to happen next Friday at exactly the point we drive it.
However, it remains a remote possibility, and as such I wouldn't like it to be a total shock, for those unfamilliar with that part of the country...

Evening everyone. Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out of the tour. The person we had lined up to look after our kids can no longer do so for personal reasons. To say I'm gutted is an understatement. The wife and I are racking our brains for a solution but nothing springs to mind. Everyone is either working or on hols.
I'm away to have a wee Tourette's moment. Gosh, really sorry for this....however I'll do my best to keep the accommodation as long as possible - just in case Would you consider joining us (with kids) for lunch at the Fluke and tagging along for a wee run - either before or after Inverness?

All accommodations informed/confirmed and amended Edit: with the exception of Inverour Guest House who have a 7-day cancellation policy but won't charge if the room is resold - at this time of year there's a good chance.......
