He give Rod the finger so Rod slammed it into reverse and caught him up see pic for evidence!

 

[Kate and rod]

175 miles round the Cairngorms today started out a bit misty then bright sunshine going up Glenshee which lasted the rest of the day!

we weren't on own, putting zed pics on Stevos write up page, great route! https://zroadster.org/forums/events-and-cruise-write-ups-gallery.6/ A924 to Bridge of Cally, A93 through Spittal of Glenshee, Braemar. Then the cats scattered and without realising it we were leading a group up the B976 to join the A939 ( the planned route). Single track with passing places but great road and part of the North East 250. Over to Tomintoul, where we all met up, the A95, Aviemoor and tiny road up Glenmore with amaising views from the top. Then back to Pitlochry via the A9.

213 miles! A9 then A984 to Cupar Angus then over to Dundee

over the Tay bridge past Leuchars and St Andrews

some of the Fife coastal route A917 including beautiful Elie.

sandwich from the deli at Elie

not sure about some of the cheese in the counter though zoom in! A92 and over the Forth road bridge

A720 bypass then A68, realised we made good time so .... took a left at Fala on the B6368 hooking up with B6355 heading for Dunns past the Whiteadder reservoir

Word of warning, B6355 is a cracking road but has a few sump killers along it. A6112 to Coldstream, fuel, then back into England. Arrived at Lowick Northumberland

venison carpaccio starter above, below pigeon breast main, no colour enhancement used! Proper rare

Red kite saw us home

total of 1,124 miles, never turned a wheel without top down, in September! Only time ratchet gun saw the light of day was in Lowick when Rod helped an old fella with a flat tyre!

Yup badly misjudged it one day..normally we go ‘up it’ from Duns to Gifford..one time came the other way…misread the road and flew around 10 metres and about a metre in the air before a very very heavy landing in the Yellow Peril…we were there on Sunday with the Scottish Z4 guys for a breakfast and then potter..

Stopped at Bridgend garden centre A92 near Cupar and opted for the small Scottish breakfast View attachment 317687set for the day now no need to stop for lunch, hope to manage tea. Setting off folding ourselves in half to get in the car! There was also a big sausage hiding under there!

Yeah, Small Scottish Breakfast!!
