Willys Jeep; drive up the local hills for a picnic...

 

Last Sunday we drove up the local Lammermuir Hills with G`s son Dan and girlfriend Emma and parking up had a picnic, The Jeep is insured for Dan to drive and he was keen to have a go again, having driven a lot of vehicles being a Corporal in the Army this would be a bit different for him, he did comment on the lack of brakes! - to be fair they did need, and have since been adjusted and stop a bit better now...











Lol!...






Right turn!





Back home we fired up the wood burner fire box and bbq and sat out in the warmth until dark...


Here is some film of the day out with D driving, Song is `Supernova` by Pico

Bikepacking around Berwickshire

 


Weekend, and we decided to split from the coast and the mobs of visitors and also get a bit camping done and drove down the road into Berwickshire and do some bike packing...

Parked up in Duns the County town we were soon off cycling and rode 10 miles to Abby Saint Bathans  to set up camp for the evening...





British Army Survival Hot chocolate is the best ever!...











Next day we were up early and after breakfast packed the bikes and stopping at the bake house for supplies were soon peddling across county in a loop that would take in 25 miles under stunning clear skies...
















Camped for the evening we had a swim in the warm river and enjoyed a lovely sunset...









Parked up we were soon rolling and peddled the last few miles back into Duns...



Wee film from the weekend, Song is several songs by Tycho...
