Hi Folks

Here is an update on the route proposed by Stu

Aberdeen to Newburgh on A90
Newburgh Ythan Hotel for Bacon and Coffee
Newburgh to Cruden Bay on A975 stopping if its fine at the Bullers of Buchan
Then on the A975 back to the A90 junction and back to Aberdeen or on to Peterhead, Mintlaw and Macduff Aquarium or Fraserburgh and Pennan depending on your moods, weather etc.

This trip takes you past the Ythan Estuary and Collieston, the golden sands at Cruden Bay and the cliffs at the Bullers of Buchan, great scenery...in any weather !

Hopefully this will tempt more of you to join us on the day

What's a better cure for a sair heid than driving window down and then stopping for a bacon butty and some coffee?

frozen-north · #6 (**Post Link**) 20-10-10

.. a bacon, egg and fruit pudding butty

washed down with copious amounts of IRN-BRU

another one I wont be able to make, at least the car is running this time.

on a positive note, the wife suggested we have a look at the Giulietta on Saturday when we go to Western to pick up a part I have ordered for the GTA.

Let me know what time you'll be down and I'll make sure to have a demonstrator set aside for you.
Cheers
Graham.

Good to hear it - at least someone will know where we are going

See you all on Sunday

PS - remember the clocks go BACK an hour - don't want you arriving there an hour too early

Insc123 · #17 (**Post Link**) 31-10-10

Suns out , rains off, it's looking good people!
See you at the ghillies lair !

mymito10 · #18 (**Post Link**) 31-10-10

Stu, you beat me to it - was just going to post something along those very lines

See you in just over an hour.

You too Tom, if you log in before you leave

Insc123 · #19 (**Post Link**) 31-10-10

Well that was good fun, perfect weather, good company and a great wee run all in all.

Newburgh for coffee and bacon then up to Macduff and then lunch at the famous Pennan Inn before turning for home. That coastal routes got some great slopes and curves - who needs the Alps lol.

Hopefully we will manage to squeeze something in before Xmas!

mymito10 · #20 (**Post Link**) 31-10-10

ditto to what Stu says - 3 cars this time but who needs quantity when we had quality

here are a few photaes taken en route .....

Ready for the off after filling up with bacon butties and coffee

You're not wrong there. Didn't see any others round Aberdeen this evening either, they must all be in hiding.

mirrin · #23 (**Post Link**) 01-11-10

Sounds like good day out hopefully i will make the next one

dinomito · #24 (**Post Link**) 01-11-10

Yeah, sorry I missed it too. Weather was great too, but unfortunately so was my hangover!

Insc123 · #25 (**Post Link**) 02-11-10

Well I think we might just possibly manage to squueze something in before the end of the year. Remember that Fennel in Inverurie said they'd be delighted to have us for one of their V8 breakfasts...
