Day 5 Aberdeen to Ballater

Day 5 Aberdeen to Ballater. We left the granite city also known as the silver city in the sunshine to cycle the 50 miles inland. We started on a disused railway  track so it was dead easy. First coffee stop at a cycle cafe in Banchory then started on the hills and forest track. The track looked horrible so we diverted and had a tea stop in Aboyne where Mr PB rerouted the last 12 miles to avoid more track. What track we did today I enjoyed, but the B road was perfect and gave stunning views of the River Dee. Now in the royal village of Ballater staying at the best independent hostel ever!
