Cairngorms - Stroking 'Aphid' at the Glenmore Reindeer Centre

Tuesday, 27 September 2011 This bed is a dream: excellent mattress, brushed cotton sheets, a proper duvet, plenty of fluffy pillows and not a hollow fibre in sight – I awake with the resolve to extend my stay. Over breakfast I chat with other guests (two youngish bikers from Yorkshire) and we exchange information about our road trip experiences and intentions.
