Got our son and family coming up - leaving Manchester about 9pm tonight Tuesday - they are driving up overnight, should be here (Strathy) by about 7am Wednesday.. Route: M6. M74. M73. then basically A9 to Helmsdale, before turning off onto A897 to Melvich and then the A836 out west..
I'd like to keep tabs on the road conditions, mostly for the A897 - through Kinbrace & Forsinard.. (don't really want to continue along A9 to Thurso and out - extra 20 miles).. I know the following links are helpful, but anyone any other suggestions? Be much appreciated.. Thanks
