Two disasters: (1) I completely forgot the route to the training event; (2) the brakes on my red Peugeot 205 were failing fast.
I pulled off the A90 at Craigiehall and found a spot where I could park safely. The owner of a nearby property was furious that I was blocking the main entrance to her farm, especially since she was expecting her wife to return from the supermarket at any moment. She was more sympathetic when I explained my predicament.
