A Blustery Day 22/03/09
Not the windiest we've ever experienced on the Pentlands but breezy enough to take the stuffing out of us by the time we got from Flotterstone to West Kip. Watch out for Richard and Mary holding their heads on and leaning into the wind. I turned the volume down on the audio for the remainder of the film as you get the picture after the first bit. All that roaring threatens to blow your thinking cap off.
About 13.4 miles run and walked in 2hrs50 or so. Glad to get out of the worst of the wind in the second half. Took a wooden planked detour round Threipmuir only to find it ended after a few hundred yards in a rather dismal birders hut. Now if they were to plank the full circuit round the reservoir it would make a very nice diversion.
Thanks to Richard for driving us there and back and apologies for making him do the water jump so many times. Due to technical difficulties (trying to be clever with greenscreen titles) the first 2 minutes are badly pixilated. Music is Here We Go Again by Australian siblings Angus and Julia Stone.
