1. This is a nice mostly flat all road route that is mainly on B roads and is relatively quiet of traffic. There is a small incline out of Methlick where the road is busier until you turn off for Tarves on the B999.
The route starts in Tarves square and heads out past the cementry on the B999. Continue on the B999 until the left turn towards Haddo. When you reach the crossroads, turn right and go towards Ellon. Continue until just after you cross a bridge then take the B9005 road to Methlick. Contiue on this road past Ythanbank and the sharp right and left bends and on into Methlick. In Methlick take B9170 road up hill towards Oldmeldrum/Tarves. After Oldmeldrum turn off onto the B999 to Tarves and follow back to the start. |
