Careful driver needed obviously, 15 foot long approx 3 foot wide will need securing down .
Loading time to be arranged with vendor but if anyone is coming south in next week or so shout up.

Yes went Saturday through all that rain, set off about half 10 and got back at 1am.
I've never been north of Stirling before, I was surprised at how much like southern England Aberdeen is, lots of leafy lanes, different feel to central and southern Scotland somehow.
My satnav brought me back over a road that I shall never forget from Alford to Laurencekirk (Spelling), I stopped before re-joining the A90 to stop shaking.

Did you come over the cairn!?

It's a wild road.

There were snow poles either side of the road and a real sharp 'up and over' at the top with a tight turn straight after.
Right in the bottom was a tight right hander over a bridge, the brakes were stinking and I was getting emotional by this point, by myself, wind , rain and fog , tired and hungry.
The things you do to try and get off the bottom rung.

I actually was scared, bottom gear in land rover , didn't know where I was, I contemplated pulling into one of those cuttings into the rock for the night and phoning the cops for help but I had no idea of the location.
Bloke at the farm said go back to Aberdeen and down and miss all that out but I thought I'd better follow the phone map.
I'd missed that turn on the way there which is a shame as I would have known to avoid it.
Something else I won't do again.

Hope your trip was worthwhile.

I'm losing faith in Sat nav going to buy a big road atlas. Probably wouldn't have helped in your case though.

It will be worth while long term, I can't wait to get a second machine put in so that we aren't as reliant on just the one.
In truth I was just in too much of a hurry and should have taken a passenger.

The cairn o mount is only a few miles from me great views if it was a sunny day, not that you had time to look.
Here’s a link of someone going down in a cart in the dark
