Route ideas?
Hey folks
Planning a wee trip with a couple of mates in August, and looking for ideas on which route to take, I've not really done all that much 2 wheeled touring, so turning to you guys for advice! We have a destination in mind (Skye) and we have a weekend for running there and back. were leaving from Fettercairn/Laurencekirk area. looking at getting a airbnb or something on the west cost for Saturday night thoughts? |

Re: Route ideas?
was thinking about going north over the cairn then up the old military road and along to ballater first, then either down to braemar, or north to grantown-on-spey.
either that or go grantown on the way out then come back the southern route and then upto braemar? |
