Low tide dawn cycle at JMCP...

Were back out again on our local coast and things only get boring if your a boring person... or so I have always said to people who ask me why I ride locally all the time and don't get bored doing so...

How can you get bored outside in an always changing environment with tide times and coastal conditions that change with weather pressures and tide times....

Marram grass trails at Belhaven beach...

Another wee solo cycle again from a week or so ago while G working and it was back out on the army Pugsley again to JMCP...

Today I cycled out to the point at Belhaven Bay as I usually do but cycled through the tracks in the dunes, marram grass is a natural plant to be found on dune systems and is widely recognised for its roots which help hold dunes together as they grow in height with wind blown sand the marram grass keeps growing through the sand...

Not quite disappeared in the encroaching dunes is a WW2 Machine Gun Pill box out near the point, it is quite obvious not many people know of it's existence or have come across it as it has not been treated with the usual spray tag or rubbish left...

Was a lovely day again to be outdoors in the fresh air... good for the soul...

Cycle around Gullane/Archerfield coast...

Another clear sunny winter day on the coast and today we were down along the coast at Archerfield, days like this may be cold with the damp air but the light is amazing with the low sun and long shadows adding to a surreal atmosphere, and the coast is quiet being midweek and most folk back at work now, we hardly saw anyone today as we bimbled along to Gullane then returned to Yellowcraig...

Quality built access ramp going in allowing easier access up and down here - this is quality construction built and will not be cheap, you won't see this expense spent by the Council authorities on something like this and paid for by the Golf Course... be the last time humping the bike up the slope here, it will be finished soon!

Cycle to the WW2 Sub wrecks...

 

Solo cycle today with G working so along to Gullane as not been out to the WW2 sub wrecks for a while. I stopped by the small cave at Murder Hill for a look about...

Out across the Bay to the wrecks and made good time with the sand smooth and firm...

Stunning day to be out here and as often mid week had the place to myself...
