Back Beachriding to Tyninghame!

 

Good to get back out cycling again on the coast!, it was a sunny but cool easterly onshore breee once again, but we enjoyed going across to Tyninghame and enjoying a near deserted coast!

Wee film from the day...

More soon...

Post Storm Arwen; cycle at Tyninghame Woods...

 

A cycle across the Tyne in Tyninghame to see how much damage has been caused from the storm, and again quite a few trees down but nothing like at JMCP...

Quite a few down at Willowbrae Point...

Secret trail was only blocked requiring a detour here so there is still accessible trails to cycle...

Not along this path though...

Back out a cycle with friends again!...

 

Great to get out again with friends for a cycle and catch up, and with P and A up again for a few weeks in their camper van and C we all met up for a cycle around Binning Wood then Tyninghame Woods being a midday high tide and it was like the pre Covid days with near deserted car parks and people, no destructive camping with folk taking the P... chopping down trees and cra..ng in the woods...

Guess the wet forecast and everything being open again has chased them away back to their usual pre Covid lives - BBC Weather should forecast rain for every weekend!, best of it was it never really came to anything despite grey skies and moisture in the air! ha ha!

Not much else to say, except great feeling like were back to some sort of `normal` again...

A cycle to Tyninghame,

 


Chris visited now restrictions allow to travel through regions in Scotland and his first beach ride in a year!

After a brew we headed down to the coast to cross the Biel burn and headed into John Muir Park through the woods and onto the John Muir Way towards Tyninghame village...

The F...

Google Perspection... yep there is no such word!...

And the A...

Gravel bike? nah we just ride Fat and plus wheels around here!

Nice old Moggie...

Down through Binning Woods...

Down the beach and out to Willowbrae Point...

Back into the woods and onto the Secret Trail, first time I have cycled it for a while and it's more like the `Secret Motorway` now! due to the Pandemic Pedestrians...

Wee film again of the ST, Song is `American Dream` by Jakatta,

Time to head home and back to the John Muir Way (JMH) and around the beaches, it was real soft with the mid tides with only a 2.2 meter low tide and 4.5 meter high tide means the sand does not really drain and the going gets a bit of a slog even with 5" tyres on 100mm rims and my legs were feeling it once we left the beach!

Onto the sands of the retreating tide...

Down the beach to Belhaven and the going was soft being mid tides the last few days...

Belhaven Bridge, aka The Bridge To Nowhere being tidal...

I took the bridge while Chris forded the Biel burn downstream where it is more shallow...

Home to sit sheltered in the back garden and drink coffee and scoff biccies in the sun out of the cool onshore easterly, a great catch up cycle with Chris and were looking forward to more cycling again soon...
