Day 18 – Buckie to Aberdeen

Glenglassaugh Distillery

A long old day. Buckie to Aberdeen is touching on 80 miles.

Cycle Route 1

Spent the entire day on cycle route one. Stopping for lunch in Turriff.

Very much like a colder version of France.

A night out in Aberdeen

At least for some food. This Lindhome Guest house is a fair jaunt from anywhere.

Tomorrow

It’s Dundee which stands to be my hardest day yet, at around 90 miles.

Here’s some photos from the day.

Spot the cycle route sign

As I was saying, a little tricky to spot.

These are friendly ponies.

Dead sheep
Whoops apocalypse.

Sometimes the worst things happen. This sheep was trying to escape from whatever was chasing it, which is why it’s head is stuck in the gate.
It’s clear it didn’t make it, and the evidence is out of shot.

Some interesting and attractive distillery buildings not far out of Buckie, in contrast to the Diego brewery of yesterday.

One thought on “Day 18 – Buckie to Aberdeen”

  1. WOW…..another long cycle in fair weather (wind notwithstanding). Today the wind direction changes from south to north west so it should be blowing you back down to Bonnie Lady…at least some of the time :-) Lovely pictures especially of the brewery with the sea view behind. Enjoy whatever today brings and stay safe…..xx
