A drive through a winter wonderland in Northeast Scotland
2nd February 2019, a band of persistent showers cloaked the high ground of Aberdeenshire in over a foot of snow before later showers fell overnight on lowland Aberdeenshire.
I decided to take a drive from Old Rayne with the intention of climbing The Buck of Cabrach behind Rhynie. It became very evident that snow fall was sufficiently heavy to completely obliterate any parking opportunities so I decided a suitable plan B was to try the car park at Tap o'' Noth instead. However the lane to that carpark was under snow sufficient to ground my car.
Plan C it was then, the Clashindarroch forest. The carpark was suitably excavated with invitations for volunteers to dig out more spaces.
Normally I don't upload my dashcam footage, but today it was so scenic that it was a worthwhile venture to do so. I also took some back roads that were suitably covered in snow and ice and so I wanted to demonstrate how a two wheel drive vehicle with winter tyres (Nokian WR-D4) fares under such conditions. Rather admirably I have to say.

Where to Ride: Mountain Biking wild trails in Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Wondering where to ride in Scotland? Make Aberdeenshire a top priority. Fort William and the Tweed Valley are better known destinations, but Aberdeenshire has some golden riding spots for those of you who want that ‘big mountain’ enduro experience.
Aberdeenshire has some classic granite rock trails including the infamous Heart Break Ridge, and Mastermind, but also some lesser-ridden secret loamy enduro spots tucked away in Scots pine forest, best visited with local MTB guide, Chris Roper from Ride in Peace Adventures.
For the complete “Where to Ride” guide to help you find the best mountain bike spots and other local knowledge, check out the complete story on Bikerumor.com here:
Snow, Ice and Reindeer | Scotland's Winter Wonderland
Join me as I explore Scotland's winter wonderland! I attempt to photograph the sunrise at Loch Morlich and feed the famous Cairngorm reindeer heard.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
**PLEASE NOTE** at the start of the video I react to people wild swimming in the ice cold loch. This should only be done with a trained professional or those who are experienced in doing so - it can be very dangerous!

Jordan takes a trip down memory lane as he takes the guys to his childhood home in Aberdeen, Scotland.
PS yes it is terrifying that he use to feed seagulls glass. I wish he had been lying. I am sorry for anyone who is a lover of seagulls or animals in general. Let's never discuss this again. Cheers

East Coast Road Trip Day - Aberdeen to Washington DC (Ep 2)
I have always wanted to try Motorcycle touring and what better way to jump in than an +1800 mile East Coast Road Trip. In this Episode, I leave Jesup, Georgia stay the night in Aberdeen, North Carlolina at Pine Gables of Aberdeen B&B. The next morning I woke up to a fabulous breakfast and then hit the road to Washington DC to stay with an old friend . On this trip I plan to share one of my favorite types of accommodation, Bed & Breakfasts. The entire trip I traveled on back roads off of highways for a much more enjoyable trip.

Bealach Na Ba - Scotland's highest road - Video 2 of 3
Video 2 of 3 - First part of the descent from the summit heading away from Applecross.
This second video features the hairpin sections of the descent.
The Bealach Na Ba is otherwise known as the 'Pass of the cattle'.
It is quite a demanding road to drive but affords fabulous views for the passengers!
Unedited - I intend to edit and shorten these videos in due course.
Videos are basic, using an iPhone in twilight conditions so apologies in advance for reduced light and definition etc.

Suilven -2398 feet (not a munro)
Suilven (Scottish Gaelic: Sula Bheinn) is one of the most distinctive mountains in Scotland. Lying in a remote area in the west of Sutherland, it rises almost vertically from a wilderness landscape of moorland, bogs and lochans known as Inverpolly National Nature Reserve.
Suilven forms a steep-sided ridge some 2 km in length. The highest point, known as Caisteal Liath (the Grey Castle in Scottish Gaelic), lies at the northwest end of this ridge. There are two other summits: Meall Meadhonach (Middle Round Hill) at the central point of the ridge is 723 m high, whilst Meall Beag (Little Round Hill) lies at the southeastern end.
Geologically, Suilven is formed of Torridonian sandstone, sitting on a landscape of Lewisian Gneiss. The surrounding rocks were eroded during an episode of glaciation. Suilven was left poking above the level of the ice sheet, as a nunatak, with the flow of ice creating the distinctive narrow teardrop plan, while carving and scouring the vertical sides of the mountain.[1]
From the coast to the west Suilven looks like a large grey pillar, hence the name which it was given by sea-borne Vikings. From the inland side the mountain has more of the appearance of a steeply-sided pyramid.
In 2005 Glencanisp estate, of which Suilven forms part and the neighbouring Drumrunie estate, were bought by the local community with the help of the John Muir Trust. The Assynt Foundation aims to create local employment and safeguard the natural and cultural heritage for the benefit of the community and future generations, and for the enjoyment of the wider public.
The most common route of ascent starts from the end of the public road that leads to Glencanisp Lodge, about 1.5 km from Lochinver to the west of the summit. From here a path leads across undulating moorland toward the mountain, which will be seen clearly ahead. About 6 km after leaving the road, and shortly after crossing Abhainn na Clach Àirigh (a river), a cairn marks the spot where one should leave the path. A boggy path leads towards Suilven, reaching Bealach Mòr (the Great Bealach) after a little over 2 km. The final pull up to the bealach is steep, and the path is much eroded, but from here the summit is easily attained. The summit itself is broad and grassy, though it is almost totally surrounded by vertical cliffs.
Another route starts from Inverkirkaig, some 4 km south of Lochinver: this route reaches the bealach from the south, passing Kirkaig Falls on the way. One may also start from Elphin, on the eastern side. It is possible to reach the ridge without first climbing to Bealach Mòr from this direction, though very exposed scrambling is required, particularly between Meall Meadhonach and Meall Beag.
By Scottish standards all routes to Suilven are long days; all are around 25 km in length over rough terrain.
