Only 2 hours past high tide, but the retreating tide would be out enough in an hour or so to reach the sub wrecks out on the exposed sands in Aberlady...
Deserted west beach, both beaches would be mobbed with visitors by 11am when i would be returning,
`Miss the morning miss the day` so true...
See the amount of sand built up here a freshwaterhaven...
Leaving the coast i went inland through the woods and up above Gullane Car park in the shadow of Gullane Hill...
Across the Reserve and a Roe Deer not to worried about my passing...
Onto the sands...
Look at the human footprint, then either a Stoat or Weasel?, then the Fatbike at 4 psi ;eaving less of a footprint....
Out to the subs...
Nearly there...
Stunning weather, worth waiting a day for a time of year to celebrate....

Mid Week Cycle-Pt2, Aberlady Bay
After cycling around the coast to Green Craig Island i decided to make the most of the low tide and forded the Peffer burn near it`s estuary and cycled east out across the 2 miles of sand across Aberlady Bay...
Love the isolated feeling out here alone...
The sub wrecks soon came into view on the sand bar,,,
A lot of sand here this now...
Not much left of the eastern sub wreck now,
Other ship wrecks appear at low tides...
Soon reached sands end at Gullane Point...
Here is another wee film, Song is `Wizards of Ahhhs` by Sinewave
