    I took a little run today as well, Rothes, Craigellachie, Dufftown, Rhynie, Toll of Mossat, Strathdon, Corgarf, The Lecht, Brig a Broon, stopped off to pay my respects at the fatal crash site from last Sunday, on to Grantown, over the Davah moor to Forres then home to Lossiemouth.
    Some of the best roads in the N.E of Scotland, certainly the best scenery!
    Damn, it was cold though! I had the heated grips on once into higher ground. I'm happy I'm not camping this weekend!

    Nice looking pictures you have there.
    Looks like the weather was kind to you as well.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
