So last weekend decided to get on with September run so went out for the weekend to recce the potential routes and stops for the 2 days.

When we do the actual runs i get nowhere to stop for pictures as there is a large group of us so nice sometimes on a recce to get rhe chance to stop for a minute somewhere.
So just going to load this thread with the pictures I took over the weekend
On the Friday i picked Lynne up from school when she was finished and headed up to Pitlochry where we were staying at the Hydro for the Friday and Saturday ( decided to take the zed as the threat of snow over the weekend had lessened) as it was mid afternoon on a Friday still had Glasgow to go through and had dinner booking decided to take the direct route
A77 to M77 to M73 to M80 then M9 but we made really good time so cut off M9 to take scenic route to Pitlochry via Crieff so stopped for a couple of pictures on way to hotel.

Pitlochry average height above sea level is 387ft the first stop the following day on the recce is 2132ft so was hoping to be dodging the showers Saturday especially.

After cairngorm stop back to hotel via Dalwhinnie started pouring down just at distillery so these last pictures from the first day are before we got to there.
We had went over a lot of stone bridges Lynne asked if saw one could stop at to take a couple of pictures .
