Bike Ride in the Pentlands

Yesterday I had in mind to camp in Glencoe then do a Corbett in Glen Etive today, but when I got up there the sites were full - even the more wild ones - and it was pouring down....so I retreated. I didn't fancy soggy ground, putting a new tent up for the first time in the rain.

Had a nice bike ride today though.

After this morning's thunder cleared it turned into a nice day.

I went up to Flotterstone then followed the path past the two reservoirs, through the Green Cleuch and down to Balerno, returning via the Water of Leith path and the canal. 2 hours.
After the Cleuch it was nicely downhill all the way and the path was muddy so I got well splattered and looked like a serious mountain biker.


Fun on a sunny day. As ever, movement and the hills makes me feel better! Just like Frank says.

More torrential rain tonight though.
