Decided to take the car out for a run, main destination was the Glenlivet, but was just heading in that general direction so i went down any road that took my fancy.
Unfortunately found a heap of roads where our glorious council has done the spray the chuckles on the top lark
Also on the way back the Huntly to Dufftown road was closed!!

I spotted you going though Elrick yesterday, I had been out to caravan at Grantown. I was lucky with the Dufftown road as it was open when I went up early in the morning, I came back over the Lecht and thought the same. That gravel must be so dangerous for the bikers, really bad in places, glad I was in the i3.

That's when you question the choice of sunglasses over a helmet in a 3-Eleven.
Personally I prefer the taste of granite gravel over the winter grit (too salty).

I headed to my folks in Aviemore a couple of weeks ago - B9119, as normal. Same, past Tarland through to Bellabeg - nightmare.
Heading that way tomorrow morning again, so probably the Huntly-Dufftown

I drove over Glenshee and back on Sunday and thankfully it was stone free. There had been a big stretch of resurfacing between Kintore and Echt done a few weeks back but the loose stones have now cleared.

Residual chuckies on the Tomintoul side of the Lecht.
