    Great roads - about 260 miles? 450 if I start from here :confused: and chasing StripleR on a Bonnie could fray my nerves and tyres!

    Weather looks good but I will go for a local squirt and watch events from Assen.

    Have a great day.

    Not sure what the mileage was, about 250 ish I think, I was going to go home the Cairn o Mount road but when I looked at the black clouds towards Banchory & Cairn o Mount I decided to turn off on to the A97 just before Alford, it leads you to Dinnet on the A93,followed a few bikers and stopped off for a cuppa at Braemar..must have been raining earlier

    It made a difference to me, Doug was making it look easy and I was working to keep up, an hes old, when I put up the photo I checked the specs and I was 100lbs over and 4 inch bigger ( no boast) so I feel a bit happier.

    Just checked Cairn o mount, and I must try that road. Looks wide open and in good nick. Dinnets a rollercoaster eh?
