Ten minute run to warm the oil up before doing a wee service turned into an hour, and I forgot how good this stretch of road can be on a decent dry day

So I had to play for a bit

Fettercairn to Strachan, B974, It's like a small copy of the Applecross run, Highly recommended if you like twisties and find yourself on the area

Cairn o'Mount is looking good, a bit cold yesterday I would have thought.

We took the diavels through Netherley and down the coast to Montrose yeaterday, it was fun but chilly.

Looks nice. I do love it when you can see through bend so confidence inspiring.

Simple answer, Yes

It's one of the first roads to close up here, Snow gates get shut and even the plough from our depot doesn't venture up before a bit of a melt.
