Some photos from today’s run – exit of Dalkeith Country Park to Penicuik. The sun was a surprise!
Leaving The Royal Hotel in Penicuik we quickly rejoined The Esk in the Penicuik Estate. The dogs lead the way, stopping only to be thrown over barbed wire fences. Rickety bridges were manoeuvred, muddy fields traversed and slippery slopes ascended. The weather was perfect, providing clear views over the glaciated Esk Valley meltwater channels.
Reaching the Allan Ramsey pub at 4pm, just as light was failing, provided an opportunity to warm ourselves by the roaring fire and enjoy a festive drink. Thank you Willie for bringing us together and giving us all a great start to the Xmas holidays.
