Question

Looking for some good roads up by Spital of Glenshee.
Have a Chrimbo night Saturday there and aint planning on having a lot to drink so I can have a wee play on the great roads up there.
Any recomendations from you folks for a Sunday afternoon run?

Well there aren't that many roads up there but if you go up to Braemar and head down deeside take the Strathgairn road over to Strathdon. However don't do it if there is any snow as this is the first road to get blocked.
Could go South in which case you could go tho Kirkmichael and then to Pitlochry. Nip down the A9 (watch your speed) turn left at Dunkeld and take the road to Blairgowrie. Lots of corners on that one!

Spooks,
Weather forecast is for SNOW on Sunday so be prepared for some fun.
I already have a wee run planned up Cairn o Mount for then.
Can't Wait

Any of the roads up glenshee are good - Coming down from the top of Glenshee towards Blairgowrie you can always do a top speed test and see if you can hold your nerve on the two sweeping bends that follow, however slow down before the "jumps" start

Can only agree with the comments so far and concur that the run to Tomintoul over the Lecht is an absolute cracker as long as the snow stays off, can then do the Bridge o Brown road from Tomintoul to Grantown and back to Aviemore to join the A9 South, Enjoy!

Not driven the scoob in snow yet so if there is any snow I'll prolly be giving it a miss.....may even be forced to take her indoors car instead, and thats just no fun at all.
Thanks for the replies, if ya see me in a ditch Sunday ...please feel free and stop to help
