No snow here earlier today.

North Berwick Harbour
It was wet and raining this morning when I got up, so I thought I’d drive out somewhere and get a cooked breakfast. Somewhere was going to be Haddington, but that turned out to be the place where the only car park I could find was for people working for the council. Just to be sure I drove back through the town but still could not see a car park!
So somewhere turned out to be North Berwick and this is what I spent my money on.

Edinburgh – Grassmarket
Time to take Jeremy back to Herriot Watt. We stopped off at Lauder Campsite to put my tent up, then went on to his flat and now we are having a sandwich in a cafe in The Grassmarket.

Dingwall Campsite
We had been camped here for eight nights – so we left our marks! A couple of days of sun and rain should fix it.
The MX-5 is not big enough for two to go camping, so we need some extra luggage room. The boot bag fits securely and adds 50l of extra space.

John o’ Groats and Wick
We headed north today – all the way north.

We walked out along the coast, leaving the tourist area behind. There were even two caches along our route – the most northerly mainland caches.

Wick
We stopped here mainly to eat, but we also visited the “shortest street”
Ebenezer Place was built in 1883 and measures only 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m) long. It has only one address: No 1.
It was also the location of our last geocache of this holiday.
