First visit to the newly opened @visitampleforth tea room. Delicious cakes, delicious coffee, mouseman furniture and an unspoiled view of the valley

Privilege to spend the day with @Brit_exploring leaders as they prepare for summer expeditions to Georgia, Iceland and Scotland. Refreshing their emergency training, logistic planning and behaviour management

@markaizatt @af_newton @NWTrunkRoads @trafficscotland @PSOSHighland @PSOSTayside Good luck with the journey. 2 sides of a triangle but hopefully passable

[jim hopkinson @HopkinsonJim]

@af_newton @NWTrunkRoads @trafficscotland @PSOSHighland @PSOSTayside Hope you get moving soon…… feel for you and others …. We have aborted until tomorrow based on your and other travellers helpful updates Much grimmer in relation to disruptive snow than the weather forecast would have led us all to predict

[jim hopkinson @HopkinsonJim]

Has #A9 reopened at #dunkeld yet. And is it now passable to Inverness @trafficscotland

[jim hopkinson @HopkinsonJim]

@NWTrunkRoads @PSOSHighland @PSOSTayside @trafficscotland Is A9 open at Dunkeld now please

[jim hopkinson @HopkinsonJim]

@af_newton @BobbyBrian_2005 @NWTrunkRoads @trafficscotland Let me know please if you start moving or conditions improve

[jim hopkinson @HopkinsonJim]

@af_newton @NWTrunkRoads @trafficscotland We are due through in an hour so clearly better for us to delay a while. Thank you for the update. Have you seen any ploughs or gritters on the move?

[jim hopkinson @HopkinsonJim]

@Alilyken @NWTrunkRoads @trafficscotland Any update. Is it still closed please. Is it still snowing?

[jim hopkinson @HopkinsonJim]

@af_newton @NWTrunkRoads @trafficscotland Is it still snowing or has weather improved at all?
