Wondered what you were talking about but found them on the Org front page! Inverness is what 110 miles? 20 minutes means they must have been travelling at 330 miles per hour - that's some going :lol:!! (LOL & STILL getting overtaken at some points...)

Had a chuckle about the Golspie stop!
Great fun to watch.

I tried to watch it, and I really wanted to, but I really did start feeling travel sick. I am hopeless with things like that! :eek:

Very good videos, but it doesnt show the new road at Helmsdale. I sent it to relatives who are driving up here for the first time, it will show them what the roads are like.

You must have blinked at that point, Fran.:D The new road is definitely there.

Sunshine, no traffic to speak of, no-one stuck behind Mr 25mph for 8 miles, no looneys overtaking 20 cars on a blind bend...are we sure this is Caithness?

I can think of better things to do than actually watch a video in my own time of a journey that I hate making.:)

It would appear to have been taken in the last 10 days,(road works signage just north of Tain) so the new road is defo there.

Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!! That was fuuunnn!!! :D I've just watched both videos for the first time, and enjoyed them. I would have liked a slower drive through Thurso, though! :eek:

I found this more leisurely paced one taken from a motorbike. It's just a pity it can't be viewed in higher quality.
