A weekend of quiet Harbours.

This weekend El was feeling a bit better and wanted to get out and about. We went to Burnmouth which is a place I'd like to include in my cycle diaries but the road is just to steep for me!




We tried to enjoy a wee picnic but it became a little weird when a pensioner couple parked their car a couple of feet from us and then sat drinking out of their thermal mugs and staring at us. I wasn't offended, just a little perturbed as to what they regarded as a day out.


Fly wasn't bothered at all.


Sunday and I went out to the Heron to take down the flags I had dressed her with for 'Lifeboat Day'. I stopped at the sailing club to help clear up from Saturdays excess.


I didn't stay long because I'm well behaved.....
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I bought a 62cm Long Haul Trucker frameset, old trucaccino!  Don't tell El. This is going to mean a lot of handbags and shoes!

  2. Yeah CK, going to be a slow build hunting down good kit at the right price. Just the job for Sustrans trail trips next year? I wonder what you could get?

    1. I hope to get some longer trips done. Overnights are difficult for me to arrange but I have a few ideas for 50-60 mile rides. Lots of history to explore but I have a build-up to do first!

    1. To be honest Mark I was looking for a Cross Check frame when the LHT came up. Right size at the right price, I'm sure you know the feeling.
