Has anyone on here done it? I have a week off from the 21st August. There's a pre planned route available on the website but you have to be a paid member to view it.

There is that, although it should have been my days off (and I don't get paid overtime), anyway, there are some fekking arsewipes use that A9. I saw 3 very near misses when the impatient fekkers had to pass HGVs causing them to slam on their brakes as well as the poor sods in the oncoming cars who would have shit themselves

Trouble is those impatient fuckers get people hurt. Not that road but the same thing caused a driver in our village to crash, he had to swerve violently in a flour tanker. Which if you didn't know acts the same as a liquid in bulk but the tanks aren't baffled. Once the movement goes too far your a passenger. The truck ended up on its side collecting a couple of cars into the bargain.

The person causing it drove off into the never never after saving himself 2 minutes.

Personally I think cars should be limited like trucks, 80mph. And that's it. Unless your on a track. Its what they do in Japan.
