Just been to Oban area for the weekend, driving from the Borders. The roads from Callender to Tyndrum to Connel and areas around there were atrocious - huge potholes and areas of destruction - a real hazard to vehicles and safety. The police apparently insisted that Connel was resurfaced within a week it was so bad (which has been done). Bikers i feel would be at serious risk, some of these holes are 9" deep, and scattered randomly across the road and round bends. I have never seen them so bad. Glad I was in a 4x4, not a treasured low car with stiff suspension.

That's the sort of thing I saw. Don't think many NC500 runs will be done in anything other than a hire vehicle this year!

Confirmed I broke a spring in the ones on my OP - thanks Argyll & Bute Cooncil.
How likely are councils to stump up for the damage claims?
