18 August 2021 Grantown on Spey
Tried a different cycle rout this morning but yet again too difficult for our bikes and to technical The Spey way is definitely a walking / mountain bike route. So we decided to go and have a lovely coffee again in Nethy Bridge as it is a good cycle. The below picture is of our evening walk looking over the Cairngorms towards Aviemore.
The next picture is the distance along the length of painted stones 2 inch apart from me to Maureen.
