Potarch - Banchory 16th October, 2020

Colin and I decided to change our regular weekly cycle to a walk on Friday, taking the bus to Potarch and walking back to Banchory from there. On hearing this news, Andy decided he would like to join in and he got Hazel to drop him off at Potarch to meet us. The three of us then headed along the Deeside Way to Dave's, who also wanted to come along, but first we were obliged to accept his hospitality - Dave had laid out the table on his new patio with a steaming pot of soup and plentiful supply of beers to set us up for the walk:

Dave further impressed us when he showed us the chillis he had grown:

Suitably refreshed, we took the fairly conventional cycling route back to Banchory, stopping briefly at everyone's favourite viewpoint:

Conditions were great - dry, no wind and a perfect temperature for walking - just enough to build up a thirst, which we sated afterwards with a couple of pints at the Legion:

Here's the stats:

A fine afternoon indeed - with special thanks to Dave for his hospitality.
