Come in number 4

Classic Pentlands walk from Flotterstone. Up Turnhouse Hill, down the other side. At that point, Mr A cut his losses and headed down the hill and waited for me. I went up Carnethy Hill, and then to the bealach between Carnethy and Scald Law, and down a familiar path to the valley. At that point I needed to remember that we were parked at Flotterstone, not Threipmuir and turn right not left. This image of the fishing boats in Loganlea Reservoir as I headed down the valley back towards Flotterstone appealed to me. I’ve added a couple of more Pentland-y extras. 

It was mega-windy on the top, so that rather restricted my photo-taking (and was one of the main reasons Mr A headed down). We’ve hatched a plan for next weekend that could involve me getting five of the main Pentland summits. I hope the weather plays ball, and it would be quite nice if it were not so windy.

Although we went shopping afterwards, neither of us felt like cooking, so I booked us a collection of fish and chips from the Fishmarket. It felt like the whole of Edinburgh was down at Newhaven Harbour enjoying the sunshine, eating out, and eating take outs. After a cloudy start, it has now resolved into a lovely evening.

Oh and we discovered the Flotterstone Cafe. Epic cake and coffee afterwards. This will influence our parking choices in the future.
