Hornet600 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi Rab. Times look good to me........ Anyone from Perth upwards recommend some good roads? Campbell took us an amazing run through some back roads last time..... How about letting us know the road numbers m8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell took us an amazing run through some back roads last time..... How about letting us know the road numbers m8? The route we took that time was from Aboyne to Potarch , along the "old Military road to the B976 turned right then left and headed to the B974 which is the Cairn 'O"Mount road from Banchory to Fettercairn and Edzell. I think you guys then went through Edzell and Montrose etc back home rather than the A90 Dual carriageway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clansman Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You could do the loop we did that day in reverse and go Edzell, Fettercairn,Grampian Transport Museum(Alford where the prisoner will be) stop there for what ever time etc you want then head to Kildrummy,Dinnet, Ballater, Braemar over Glenshee down to Blairgowrie and onwards which ever way you choose. From Alford to Braemar I'm sure Phil (Murrymint) can take "point" If you Google map that lot in that order so you can see it better. Its about 125 miles from Edzell - Blairgowrie. on that route. But all up to you guys as I'm stuck at work :barfing: Which ever route you pick have a great day and I'll hear/see all about it after the event. Fuel stops .........not sure about Edzell/Fettercairn but Alford(Phil?) Ballater and Braemar will have a station open on a Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell took us an amazing run through some back roads last time..... How about letting us know the road numbers m8? John, I was hoping that anyone who had done the run last year would know or certainly a local like Campbell (below) could recommend. The route we took that time was from Aboyne to Potarch , along the "old Military road to the B976 turned right then left and headed to the B974 which is the Cairn 'O"Mount road from Banchory to Fettercairn and Edzell. I think you guys then went through Edzell and Montrose etc back home rather than the A90 Dual carriageway. Campbell, I've just Googled that route and the Old Military Road looks a good one, taking in Alford and also cutting out as many A class as possible.

clansman Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yeah that road is usually quiet but as with all these type the local farmers can spring a surprise round the next bend!! I'm sure Phil will have some good roads you might choose as well. Some great back roads Cairn 'O' Mount is always a good blat if it is a nice day then the 2 wheel guys will be out for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murraymint Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hi Guys If you guys are taking the Edzell, Fettercairn road and up to Alford and we can meet up at the Grampian Transport Museum (where the sprint is). Then I'll take you all round Donside/Deeside and back to Blairgowrie…. Alford A944 Kildrummy A97 Strathdon A944 Then onto the Old Military Road A939 A93 to Braemar (In passed Balmoral Castle and a cup of tea with Eliz and Philip) Glenshee then down to Blairgowrie….. 76miles a cool couple of hours…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab (bombero) Reid Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Pm's sent…. Replied. Spoke with Bob tonight. Not heard from Alastair so unsure if he's playing at Alford however, we'll have a better idea what we're doing once the main group meet up at Halbeath. I'll give you a call then, if that's not too late for you? We'll certainly be running up to Ballater and maybe you can take point from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you're speaking our language! Judging by the number of confirmations, that'll be "26 bacon rolls please!!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
