I know what section of road you are on about at Thrumster as my dad has just come back from Wick. Its a very bad section when it rains and a few cars have come off the road there so yes be very careful.

Forewarned is forearmed. Thanks for taking the time to let us know and safe driving everyone.

I find that if you know what the road is like....take your time....it's not that the road is dangerous, it's the people who are driving on them..if you know they are awkward...just don't speed on it...

no tom it was the amount and depth of water on the roads, that we were on about. hughie said it was the worst he had ever seen it,

Hopefully it will all disappear and we can travel safely again at some point.

I found this on the BBC website which may inject a little humour into an otherwise dull day

Enjoy!
