Day 15. Maryculter to Girdle Ness (Aberdeen)
Another bright morning but there was a lot of cloud about and there was even a hint of rain at times and the wind was still cold.

| Looking back to the Aberdeen bypass |
Just a short walk into Aberdeen today down the Deeside Way which is tarmac all the way and well used as a cycle route.

There are a couple of pitstops on the way as well for both bikes and people but I managed to restrict myself to one.

| Cycle path bridge |
I noticed that I was in the suburbs but the line retains it's railway character almost to the centre of the city where it spits you out onto the streets near the river.

| River Dee at Aberdeen |
As I had been at the source of the Dee it made sense to walk beside the river, past the docks and on to the lighthouse on the headland at Girdle Ness.

A walk back to the centre of Aberdeen through Torry, which seems to a rather run down area with dirty streets and neglected houses, to the railway station and a train to Montrose and the sign out point.

| El Tejido celebrating the finish |
A really nice night meeting old acquaintances and swapping tales of Challenge adventures.
 |
| Next stop, Norway |
That's the end of this adventure, the next one starts on Monday when I fly to Bergen.
12 miles walked 200 meters ascent

Well done Roger and thanks for sharing. Has Aberdeen changed much? I look forward to travelling (virtually) to Norway.
Congrats on finishing El Tejido! and Dad =)
