Midweek Cycle; Horses and Combines... Pt 1 of 2

I was off out in search of combines after work on the Surly KramPug, turned out an amazing evening as the grey skies cleared and finally i got those harvest golden light sunset pics, more of that in Pt 2 of this ride...

Parked up from a days cutting...

I rode up to a hill i have not been up for a while...

Traprain Law...

From the river Tyne, a climb up an ancient old road...

Traprain Law is steeped in history...

Exmoor Ponies released on the Law to keep grass down and reduce the chance of fires which used to often occur on this ancient hill...

Cool clouds with a clearing sky to the west...

The view across to my work at Whitekirk Hill, I often post pics of  Traprain from there...

Inland to the south, the Hill foots and beyond the Lammermuirs...

Wrong way down...

Fantastic light over Edinburgh...

Down we go...

The Pony's turned up inquisitive and friendly...

Mobile phones it seems do not show Flickr films (which can be uploaded up to a minute long) but if your on a PC then you can watch this wee film of the ponies....

Hello! -:)

They came over to check out and have a sniff at my bike...

"Hey check out those wheels guys"
"Its one of those Surlys"
"Yeah its a 29+ fatbike"
"yeah, cool..."

Time to go look for some combines at work to get some film...

First some singletrack along the river Tyne...

Some sunset harvest pics in Pt 2...
