Inverness meet - Aberdeen convoy

[hollowpockets]

meeting in inverness at 10am would mean leaving aberdeen 7.30ish to make sure we have plenty of time, anyone else agree/like to suggest a meeting place and make a list of names?

i'd suggest B&Q bridge of dee car park - out north deeside,aboyne and over the lecht being the quietest route with best scenery. i dont like the huntly road tbh.

theres the ballater route, alford or hunty roads, id prefer alford or ballater as huntly road is boring, tesco westhill sounds good to me

im on the claymore just now, bored out my skull, home at the end of the week, then i'll fit the de-cats and poly bushes to my car, its gonna be loud (maybe not as loud as that viper though)

Excuse the fact that I don't have the road names handy right now but my favourite route is out to Alford, cross River Don at Bridge of Alford, about a mile past Lumsden there's a turn off on the left (just after a bridge over a burn) signposted to the Cabrach, at the end of that road turn left through the Cabrach, at the end of that road turn left and left again into Dufftown, through Dufftown to Craigelachie, left at the (A95) towards Granton, through Carrbridge and onto A9 to Inverness. The perfect blend of nice roads and minimla traffic!

Love the Cabrach.
North side of the Spey is nicer though, B9102 instead of A95 but maybe a bit tight for the 'wide boys'.

Personally I prefer:
Alford - Bridge of Alford
A97 Glenkindie
A944 Strathdon
A939 over the Lecht
A95 Grantown-on-Spey
A938 Carrbridge
then onto A9 for the last bit

Overall slightly better roads, and will be quieter.
Not that I can make it...

Nice quandry to have!

good route!!!

strathdon is good fun, had some very spirited drives over there last summer!
