Aberdeenshire Country Drive

[Tav]

I finished my 5 year stint at university last night at 22:00. It was an epic rush to get everything handed in for marking and very stressful. I always find the best way to unwind after a hand-in is to go for a drive the next day. I fuelled the Cup up and headed off towards Cairn o' Mount this afternoon. I managed to stop and take a few pictures on a wee old 4Mega Pixel pocket camera, enjoy...

Hmmm interesting...

[Tav]

First 4 pictures were taken about 15mins from the city center, last pictures are near the summit of Cairn o' Mount. Going to take a trip back up soon with a proper camera and a couple more cars.

 

[Damo_Sport]

I need to do the C'O'M sometime. How do you get there?

Well done about Uni!

Go to the best driving roads thread where you asked before, I put up some directions there juzzy.

 

[The Dark Knight]

[D1CKY]

cairn o mount is an awesome road when its dry.

my mum lives in banchory so i use it regularly

another picture from the top on a damp day

to get there head out towards banchory, head a left to get down to the park and head out that road, take a left about 5 miles down that road - think its signposter for fettercairn and laurencekirk.

be weary though, theres some big forestry lorries use that road, and its a tight squeeze

 

[Brett]

Looks like a realy good drive. Congrats with Uni mate.

The Old Ph1 looks sweet mate

Aye its a ace road and yeah theres f**king forestry trucks and tractors pulling out etc and leaving mud everywhere and the odd pheasent too which dont help.


Grrr


P.s Congrats on Uni Tav, i forgot to say in my last post.

Lol

 

[Tav]

Not seen any trucks *touch wood* I'll give you a shout some time Richard, maybe worth a wee CS get together at the summit?

 

[Beef-Mc]

I quite like the idea of that, or heading all the way out to Banochry, will see if there's a gap for August lol.

Sounds a plan guys

 

[jackfm]

I'd be in on this....

 

[Tav]

A gap in August? Just requires organising on an evening sometime surely? Bit impromptu...bring your car, some petrol and a camera, jobs a good 'un. No use doing it in the day time, can't drive anywhere without getting held up by boobs commuting.

 

[jesus]

Awesome looking thing, a decent exhaust would finish the look off imo.

 

[Tav]

Just waiting for it to fall off then I'll get a new one ordered, too much choice and too little to separate them. Hopefully once I get a job I'll have some more pennies to splash on the car

 

[Dee1983]

Great pics and landscape
