LEJOG day 39

20.7 miles 711.1miles. West Linton
Started with a road plod, spiced up by a footpath at Peebles that led into a private garden and required scaling a wall to remove ourselves. Then met by 2 rude runners asking us to get out the way….Jean and Gus! What a lovely surprise. They led us straight to Greggs (fantastic) and then came with us on a lovely walk along the drove road up and over the hills. Beautiful tracks and easy walking. After homemade ginger cake and rhubarb muffins Gus left us to return to car. On we romped through more lovely countryside and down into Rommanobridge. ( lots of hares seen en route). Quick stop then back on road to West Linton where we met with Gus and Colin and Les. Decided to do a further 2 1/2 miles to ease tomorrow. After a cool day with lots of sun we were then hit with rain and hail. Great day again.Read more
