Jedburgh – “Jedi” – Camping in Scotland
To avoid the Newcastle A1 roadworks I used the A68 today – with a lunchtime stop in Jedburgh.
I managed to get to Scotch Corner with the MX-5 top down before some light rain forced me to pull over and put the roof up. However after leaving Jedburgh it was down again.
Rain at Scotch Corner
I got to the campsite by mid-afternoon and there was no more rain but I was glad I packed the quilted fleece liner for my M65 jacket as it was cool sitting out having my tea. For tonight I have my Helly Hansen base layer, a fleece liner and my down sleeping bag. I am not expecting to get cold.

Today’s photo and some extra Scotland photos
Something from the garden today – I have gear and equipment to clean and sort today, it is too wet and gray to get the MX-5 out and I have Octagon work to organise for the coming week.
Here are a few extra photos from the Scotland trip I have did not post.

Heading South
I set off early from Aviemore, heading for lunch with Jeremy in Edinburgh and then back to Lincoln tonight.
Glenmore Forest Park
It has got a lot warmer today so the low snow has gone and the high snow looks much thinner. The plan this morning was to walk in the forest near Loch Morlich and have lunch at one of the loch side picnic areas. The walking was good but the high wind put a stop to the lunch stop.

The shattered ice from the loch was being blown back onto the shore.
Back at the cottage the sun came out.

Walking near Aviemore
It has got a bit warmer here today, the snow is melting, there is occasional rain, a gusty strong wind and not a lot of light. After watching Gravity on my iPad and dealing with a few things for Octagon, it was time for a walk in the woods around Aviemore.
I did not take my lunch or stove with me – it was back to the cottage for a pot of tea and watching the driving rain through the patio windows.
