My fiancee and i headed off early yesterday for some time out of the city. We left edinburgh, and went first to Aviemore and up to the Cairngorm Railway. Had some fun when we hit the A9 through the mountains, empty roads and long sweeping bends made me smile, and Kristina hold on tight.
We then decided to get off the beaten track and hit the back roads towards Balmoral Castle - really worth it as the scenery and roads were equally great.
And finally back down the A93 to perth and home.
320 miles and still a quarter of a tank of super left, i was surprised, although the shouts of disapproval from the passenger seat helped to keep my right foot fairly light by all accounts.
Great day out and we'll hopefully be headin up again in the winter.
Some pics i took on my phone too
