Harvest field cycle...

 

Back out cycling and I should be on 29+ wheels to make the most of them but I just grabbed the army Pugsley as it was sitting ready to go as tyre pressures etc would need checked on the KramPug 2.0...

A lovely morning to be out a pedal around local harvested fields, most of the harvest is done now and in fact struggling to find many scenic looking fields with bales to link up - most have either had the bales lifted straight away or the straw has been mulched  by the combine...

I love passing the Dovecots - or Doocots as they are pronounced in Scotland. Google Dovecots and most of the pictures of flamboyant ones are here in East Lothian, the protruding rings around them were to stop rats climbing the walls to get in to eat the pigeon eggs...

This one is at Phantassie

A rare people free Smeaton Mill, it is apparently the most photographed Building in East Lothian

Past Drylaw Dovecot similar to the nearby one at Phantassie...

More fields!

Midweek Cycle; sunset harvest cycle...

Lovely Autumn high pressure weather for a few days, a wee cycle around some harvested fields  and despite the cool wind it was warm until sunset around 8pm when it cools off and you really get the feeling now summer is over and seasons are changing,

Filming done, and home as the sun slipped away....

Harvest Cycling with friends...

Mike and Rach stopped by on Sunday after they had been at the Tweed Vally and with a swap to their Fatbikes we cycled to Seacliff and along to Tyninghame, it was the second lovely warm day -Indian Summer?, well it rained on Monday so maybe not!, but it was fun while it lasted...

Golden fields and blue skies...

We cycled JMW trails and harvested fields on route to the coast...

With the fields recently cut we got up close to Tantallon Castle....
