The past five days have allowed a rare opportunity for near sea-level travel in total Covid isolation around East Lothian, across a landscape normally occupied by barley, sprouts and grazing animals. The footbridge is the last crossing of the R Tyne before the sea, at your peril because it is derelict and structurally dodgy. Skis spread the load across the perilous deck planks. The hill is the final descent of Pencraig Hill on the optimum ski-line from Haddington to East Linton heading for the level crossing over the East coast main line, and finally a late return over Drylaw Hill. 30 miles over 4 days, now over for possibly another decade.
