Midweek cycle; Gullane single track and coast...



Midweek and out cycling after work at Gullane.  Funny when filming how you can do loads in one space or one long film clip of a whole trail and they both take about the same time to do.
So i made two films in an hours cycling ,
With the chest cam mount i rode from Gullane beach car park down to Freshwaterhaven non stop to show how long and good some of the sandy singletrack trails are here.

Down on the coast was high tide and no one around as usual at this time of day so did some point to point shots with the Go pro on the mono pod to add some other angles...

Thrift now flowering


Was a classic big sky day, with lovely light reflecting on the water...




Someone has been creative with some of the remaining driftwood planks...








It would be pouring down here on the coast in an hours time, but i was long gone by then and watched the rain enjoying a coffee at M`s...


A second film, point to point along the shore line east of Freshwaterhaven...
Song is lost on this track but will try find it...
