Hame noo. That was tough going, blizzards and drifting on the wee roads all the way to the AWPR.. absolutely knackered. Passed the road down to Pennan, somewhere I've always wanted to visit but wasn't risking the hill. The 20% grade on the road was hairy enough . Gave up following the sat nav and just went full Colin McRae and kept moving no matter what!

Stopped on the A90 North of Ellon for a break, been some day. Getting to a remote farmhouse in Gamrie in an automatic Transit on summer tyres is taxing.. ended up in a ditch after someone drove straight at me, downhill in a 4x4 Toyota whilst I was making progress uphill.. I reversed quickly to get away from him and drpped 2 wheels off the side of the road. Still deep wet mud, surprisingly. Many thanks to the folks who helped me out with a tow. Does no one give way to cars coming uphill anymore? A fair few swear words came out

Back on the AWPR it was 0 degrees and raining, then south of Aberdeen it was 2, foggy and raining, with the puddles in the fields still holding on to a layer of ice. I wish it would just dry out. I feel like I've been rained on every day since August.. even my Euro bike tour then was waterlogged. Enough already..

Home to 4 degrees and grey. House is
