Spider web after the rain

Almost forgot to post this today! It was a busy day I had a lot of things to do for university and a major problem to work on for an Octagon client.
The rain did slow to a drizzle after breakfast, so I set out to walk some of the beaches, coast and areas around North Berwick. Of course I picked up several geocaches and photos along the way.

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.

We made a plan over a late breakfast to go walking for the day in a nearby forest, but we took the wrong turning and just kept going. It was sunny, we had the roof down on the car and the scenery was great. A check of the geocache map showed there were plenty ahead of us.
We stopped in Cannich for coffee and cake at the Bog Cotton Cafe and then onto geocaching and walking.

When we got back to the campsite having had a great day out in glorious weather with the roof down, we discovered the site was flooded in places. The heavy rain started at Dingwall at about 11am and went on and on for four hours!
So for a day that started by taking a wrong turning, it turned out alright for us.
