Old Military Road - ABZ Playground
Re: Old Military Road - ABZ Playground
Nah, saw it in another post and it stuck in my mind, because I thought you were in the Ferry for some reason.
Same general area I start my stopwatch from, as my late gran's house is down on the Magdalen Green and my folks live in Blair, so I've done that road soooooooo many times.
SE whisky night in Mennies would be a good idea though...

I'm from the ferry originally.
We had an SE night out many moons ago, which "coincidently" started in Mennies

I often take the Kirrie route instead which is probably better..rossybee wrote:Not trying hard enough - less than 20 miles to BlairCorranga wrote:One of my favourite routes, and glad I'm only 40-45 mins from the bottom of it

Or... That was the day I did that route 3 up in our Panda 100hp (which was also an absolute hoot!)

Peterheid was remarkably fresh. I think it's actually the first time I've been there.douglasgdmw wrote:

Ellon Tesco store & filling station are becoming regular stops for me though...was in both last time I visited Tut too.

Thanks Ali. Didn't you used to live around Newburgh? Was thinking of you and Nicola as I passed through, in fact...!
