Up north to Tomintoul

[Mark Jackson]

There was a bike meet in a small Highland village called Tomintoul, 130 miles north east of Edinburgh in the highlands. From Edinburgh to Perth it's a pretty straightforward ride on the motorway but with some nice scenery. After Perth the roads get waaaay better, along with the countryside. Most of the time I head North it's to the North west, I find the landscape a lot more dramatic but Aberdeenshire isn't bad. It's a bit MAMBA (Miles And Miles of Bugger All! but in a nice way😄) Anyhoo, some nice bikes there, a good band, great ale and lively banter, what more could you ask for!

Looks like a great day and ride.  Love the scenery and that old-school, hard tail  chopper.

Ouch!!

Yup, apparently this bike was handed from father, who had it in the 70's, to son who rides it today. I pity the pillion!Here's a pic of it at a meet last year

Wonder if she's with him this year.

If they have to go more then a half hour away she'll never stretch out!

Was up that way 2 weeks ago. Through Glenshee to Tomintoul, in to Aviemore and back down the A9. Weather was dry and sunny. Brilliant roads and scenery. 👍👍
