08 CTT GARLOGIE

Start on the B9119, just beyond the B9125 turn off and about 300m from Garlogie Hall. Proceed west to Echt, where turn left onto the B977. Then proceed south, taking care over a narrow bridge, to meet the B9125 at a “T” junction, where there is a filter lane. Proceed east to finish before the B9119. Race HQ Garlogie Hall.

9.5 CTT FINTRAY:

Start 0.5mile along the unclassified road which leads from just north of Fintray, via Kinmuck to Keithhall, where give way to turn left on the B993. Exercise extreme care to turn left again at the bottom of a steep descent just before Inverurie. Soon after, note that the road seems to carry on in a straight line, but it really turns sharp left.

Go round the roundabout and retrace your route, to finish just east of the start. Warning at 1 mile and 9 miles there is a tight corner where the road rises and crosses the railway.
