Left Innerleithen under sunny skies and, thank goodness, crisp temperatures. Immediately began the long climb over the Moorfoot Hills. Not terribly steep like, say Cornish hills, but l-o-n-g like, say Scottish hills! Passed through Colquhar and Dewar. Worked up a lather getting to the top. Once there though, there was a terrific view of Edinburgh and the Firth Of Forth off in the distance.Great coast down through Heriot and then a meandering route over some rough roads through Tynehead, Crichton, Pathhead, Dalkeith, Glimmerton and into Edinburgh.
Was tempted (briefly) to keep going - a condition I will henceforth refer to as
John O' Groats Fever (JOGF) - but thought better of it after reviewing the next
few days elevation charts! Tanking up on the carbs as we speak.
36 miles in the bag - approximately 375 to go! Decided to treat myself to a
sports massage. Very nice!
