Mist on the Pentlands

So, I've got into this habit of the Sunday sunrise on the Pentlands but it is getting harder to see as the year progresses and it happens earlier.   I awoke well rested after a relatively early night and decided to go for it.  I was on the hills about 7:15 and it was sunny and while not warm it was still milder than recently.  Above on the ridge there was a bit of cloud hanging but it still felt warm.

The sun was just peaking out to the East as I climbed past the ski slope and on up to the tops taking a direct line.  It looked like it was going to be a good sunny walk, but as I topped out the mist rolled across.

It made for some beautiful views though as a golden sun glowed through the gloom.

It was great to be up here.  But it always is.

I was here earlier so I had more time to play and continued along the ridge, climbing up to Allermuir.  All the way I was catching glimpses of the city below, coming through the gloom.

The walk towards Allermuir was great, with the hill just freeing itself of mist as I approached the bottom of it, leaving it all pink and warm.

From the top I carried on down to the yellow brick road and then along a little way before coming back up another ridge to return to the trig point. 

A returned along the tops then dropped down back to where I started.  Just at the top of the ski slope I bumped into Steven Fallon and it was good to chat to him for a while. Then back for a bath and breakfast.

It was a good morning out though, with some great views.  Enjoy the photos!
