Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Blairgowrie

    Blairgowrie is where the Perthshire farmland ends and the Highlands begin to show their hand. The town sits on the River Ericht, which comes tumbling out of Glenshee and, in the old days, turned the wheels of dozens of jute and flax mills; the stone mill buildings still line the river. Behind it the hills close in, and in front lies Strathmore, a broad, red-soiled plain that grows most of Scotland's raspberries. In July the fields are full of pickers, and you can smell the fruit from the road with your visor up.

  2. 2. Grantown on Spey

    Grantown-on-Spey was a planned town, founded in 1765 by Sir James Grant of Grant, who wanted a tidy settlement for weavers and a base for his estate. It is the end of the Snow Roads, and it is a good one.
