So I’m off to Banchory to stay with the In-Laws-In-Sin for Christmas and Hogmany. Is there any point in bringing a bike or will the snow be over my handlebars?

Bump

I would say ‘NO’. I haven’t been through Banchory recently, but you’d be lucky to do any significant riding in Perthshire, and Aberdeenshire has had more snow than here.

yerbastard, ive now got “What’s the story in Ballamory, wouldnt you like to know….” going round my head 👿

I wish I would read more carefully.

Cheers TW, that;s pretty much what I thought. Oh well, it’ll be crampons and skis instead then!

Bring your sledge, it would be more appropiate and more usefull than a bike given the amount of snow we have.

Can’t speak for Banchory but in most of Aberdeenshire it’s ski’s fo-sho!

Ski’s. You could take the bike round some of the trails in amongst the trees but there will be a heck of a lot of walking involved.
