Out by nine and out along The Lang Whang to Carnwath - a pretty mucky sort of day, grey and windy and not particularly pleasant, which turned into sunshine and all manner of loveliness as I headed west to Peebles. Turned off at Lyne Station to come up through The Meldons (pictured here) and then the usual Midlothian routes home from Eddleston. Felt good and I felt pretty alright when I got back after 116km (72 miles for those still clinging to the old empire...). Big thanks to the flapjack that kept me going :-)

Also thanks to just sitting who did this route on Sunday and gave me a couple of pointers and things to look out for.

Bit of a luxury on arriving home as well - with the girls still being at school I could put some music on the stereo and listen to it in the bath, with the door open! Result.
