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...

The curving concrete one with the legs (oddly enough)!

Yes, it's true-

I think we had initially looked at an accomodation stop just beneath it; there's quite a nice hotel on the shore.

However, I think after we looked into it, it was a bit 'too nice'!

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 smile

Would you consider joining us (with kids) for lunch at the Fluke and tagging along for a wee run - either before or after Inverness?

Weather up here has been mixed. Sun one day then a bit gloomy the next. There seems to be a breeze all the time so I've never encountered the midge actually from the last tour. Then again the West will be a different story if the weather smiles on us. Happy days...... driving

alrightee!

everyone involved should have received a link to our communal Google-Drive for the 'Tour, and the password to manipulate it also.

If everyone is in agreement; we shall share the link here, so that those following the thread can see pictures as they are uploaded.

With my I.T. knowledge; that's the best I can do; if anyone has a better course of action- please step forward!

Ah- well maybe it'll have to wait until Thursday then, Jim

I have subsequently sent everyone another email called

'shareable link' which will allow access to the drive without the need to sign in.

apologies for the confusion.

sending you a PM now, Jim...

All accommodations informed/confirmed and amended smile




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.......
