What is the A9 like?

[MrsICTFC]

Any one been along the A9 south recently?

I have to go to Perth on Sat for a meeting, I can take the car or train. I would prefer to take the car for time etc but I am not sure what the roads are like. Any ideas?

Black tarmac mostly (some might be white :001: ), bit of duel carriageway here and there and a bit two-way so be careful... :D

Check the web cams before you go.

Pick a cam

I love those cameras. The snow is very much a thing of the past in Aberdeen and it is quite amazing to see how much snow still remains across parts of Scotland.

It was perfectly clear on Saturday, though the snow's still very evident everywhere but on the road. Snow-showers alot of the way home from Airdrie, but it wasn't settling. I'm sure it'll be fine.

The main thing you have to watch out for is black ice

I came up from St Andrews Sunday evening and it was clear all the way. Little bit sleet at Slochd but nothing serious.

Thanks guys, will drive but check those cameras the night before. It's my 1st time driving to Perth on my own!

Get the train. It's cheaper (I assume your work will pay for it) and greener.

No, work won't be paying for it. It works out ?10 extra to drive. If I take the train it means I have to sit around for 3 hours in Perth.

I highly recommend IrfanView which is a great - and FREE - image viewer and easy to use basic editor. It will allow you to view images but it will also allow basic edits such as cropping, resizing images or converting between formats etc. If you have a large pic taken with a digital camera thats 4Mb in size you can resize it down to a manageable level and save it as a jpeg to attach to your posts .....

recommended size for the forum is between 400 - 600 pixels wide. You may want to upload a larger picture but anything over 600 pixels wide is automatically reduced in the display and you have to click on the image to get the full image in a pop-up. If you use 800 or 1024 as a resized image size it will usually give you a decent enough image size on most web browsers ...

Our image size limit for members is 2Mb per image up to a maximum of 32Mb (i just increased it a little). If you want a little more .... our image size limit for the sponsor group is 7Mb per image (set by our server configuration) and there is no maximum space limitation.
