Stonehaven

Dad is now camping in Stonehaven which is just south of Aberdeen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehaven

He left Peterhead this morning and headed on down through Boddam, Cruden Bay and Newburgh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newburgh,_Aberdeenshire He stopped off for awhile to have a watch of the birds out over the dunes. He then continued on along the A90 and into Aberdeen. He popped into the tourist information to ask where he could find a Millet's and somewhere to get some new bike shoes. He needed a Millet's as one of his tent poles was slightly damaged (Dad had repaired it with super-glu and the good old gaffer tape). They wanted £22 for a tent pole - the tent had only cost £27!! He decided to leave it and make do with his "repair". He then found a bike shop and it now the proud owner of a new pair of biking shoes/trainers.

He had time for a look around Aberdeen and left about 3.00 ish. He then picked up the A90 again and headed on through Cove Bay and Porlethen and then onto Stonehaven.

Camping on a nice camp site. No cooking tonight as there is a fish & chip shop close by! Weather has been sunny today but at times a bit chilly.
