John Mack 246 Posted August 29, 2021 Decided to take a wee run north today and meet up with the Scottish Capri Club who were having a get together just outside Aboyne. Nice run up although took a wee bit longer due to coffee and pee stops! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Walton 128 Posted August 29, 2021 Looked like a good day out John, Cany hike from your place I would have thought. Have you been geting another 4 legged friend? A couple of weeks ago we had a run up to Nairn to pick up some old trials bike parts. Not impressed with all of the speed cameras on the A9 or all of the holiday traffic. Quite a run out 700 mile round trip. Took the Audi thought it was a bit to much for the Cortina 700 miles in a day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We went up via Perth and Blairgowrie and up to Braemar, roads weren't too busy but we came back on the east side and down to Dundee then Forth Road Bridge....that was busy/slow.

Sorry John, I thought you only had one furry friend. When we came back down the queue for the Forth Bridge was back to jct 3 south bound so we went via Glasgow and the M74. [Always have the traffic on the radio!!] I have to say that there is some stunning scenery on the way up and back on the A9. Its a long time since was up that way probably last century. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iv'e not been up that way since a nipper. Grandparents had a static caravan at Tummel Bridge near Aberfeldy. We used to go up for a couple of weeks in the summer holidays. Dad had a hand painted blue HB Viva estate and he used to sit behind the Artic trucks on the motorway in their slipsteam. Aberfeldy park had an old Traction engine that the kids could climb all over, fall off etc. Happy days. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
