Don't panic - for a change I'm not running em down..
Today Mrs Beks and I decided to go down to Inverness, usually we go down the road Melvich to Helmsdale, but for a change would try the A836 out to Tongue, turn left down to Lairg; that way..
No sooner had we got to Bettyhill then we see a Dutch caravan coming towards us, with a 'number 17' on it's windscreen. Oh No! bloody hell, it's that annual Dutch thing where hundreds of caravans come around the north coast road, holding folks up for hours and hours.. a few minutes later 'Number '10', then 'Number 11'.. but then we noticed there was a decent space/time between 'em.. 'Number 14' five minutes later 'Number 1' - and so it went on.. no problems whatsoever, with vehicles being held up. In fact just before the hill down to Tongue, one was coming up the hill, they flashed and they pulled in! Thank You 'Number 6' we waved as we went by..
Very impressed :D
