    Arrow This morning I was mostly . . .

    Riding my bike.


    Took a little run out this morning, as the weather is set to turn too wet & runny pooh tomorrow . .

    Can anyone tell me where I was?

    Just a little view . . . .

    One day soon, me & the TA are going all the way to the top of this track . . .

    The hills at the Cabrach – view them now before some southern gadgy that owns the estate but doesn’t live here gets permission to put up 59 x 120m wind turbines, serviced by 34km of access track . . .


    Weather was - well, you can tell from the pictures. The roads however, unlike those shown in the photo’s, were universally covered in wet leaves & mud, interspersed with just plain wet bits!

    Still a great little ride out in superb weather, on luverly little roads whilst aboard a purring Vara.

    Now, time to start putting the TA back together so's I can take a run up that track

    Nice picture again steve. .

    Sorry could not make it this morning, the misses had me shopping in the morning.. I did get out for a spin in the afternoon, to Ballater via the back roads..

    Roads are very muddy, gravel washed into every corner .And the wet leaves ,, wow . And got drenched at Dinnet..

    But got home safely , I really enjoyed driving with crap roads , felt like a real adventure... LoL

    I like the look of that track you found..

    That's the reason I went out this morning - forecast was as per - sun A.M, rain P.M. Makes a change for them to get it right

    You fancy a pop at that track them on your Touratech'd TA?

    I've never seen it dry, so I'm thinking of another set of TKC's for the TA this winter. They'll get me to the top, for sure

    Well, two can play at that game,,,, where was I????








    ????????








    Well, it's the Corgarff side of the Lecht!

    A wonder I didn't see you over East Steve. My route was up to Aberlour, turn left at the Dalnashach to Glenlivit, up to Tomintoul then over the Lecht. Right turn to Gairnshiel then Ballater, home by Banchory, Torphins then Alford. Came across the Cabrach but would have been 3.00 ish.

    Aye, the weather was excellent, good day for a run.

    Nice Picture Jim.

    Funny that us 3 were all about in the same sort of area.. today..
    But at different times on different roads..

    I did not see too many power rangers out today from aberdeen.. all that wet leaves on the roads have scared them off..

    Oh, my bike looks like its been driven through a ford.. (thats another story) what I did last weekend..
