Ace weekend with friends.
Dave came down from Skye for the weekend and would see two fun days cycling local trails and loads of laughs and banter...
Jeff from Wales was up in East Lothian for a weeks hols with family and had a pass for Saturday so joined up along with Jason and Craig.
Dave and i fitted plus wheels and i checked of the old KramPug to lend to Jeff...
We were all ready but the weather was not!, it poured down until after 11am, so was decided to ride the John Muir Way to Archerfield Walled Garden and get a pint, juice, food, blether...
The odd field ready for cycling!...
I shot loads of film over the weekend with the Go Pro HERO Session 4, edited into short 3 minute films...

Some of the trails are just so fun like here on the JMW, be careful in summer when visibility ahead is limited with the trees in leaf, fun taking different lines winding through the pines...

Riding back to HQ Jeff had to head off mid afternoon so the rest of us came up with the idea of riding to Dunbar, again on the JMW for some chips and set off...
Big views over the Shire...
Here is another film riding the JMW from East Linton to John Muir Park...

We stopped at Bullet Hill, before riding to Winterfield.
Most of the East Lothian Coast was MOD land and off limits to the pub;lic during WW2 for coastal defences built in 1940 then later training. Here at JMP was one of many live fire ranges, a hill is full of .303 rounds from a firing range, a quick dig in a rabbit hole will find spent rounds, see the start of the film,
Song is `Waterfall` by Stone Roses...

Chips bought we sat looking over the harbour, gulls looked over our food...

Hence the name `The Bridge to Nowhere`...
