It is a grey day, with nearly constant light rain. For something different I drive out to Melrose and walked some of the Borders Abbeys Way but the poor weather meant I soon headed back to the car and back to the campsite. Time to watch some videos on my iPhone in the dry.

I covered another length of the Southern Upland Way today – out from Galashiels.
The weather was excellent until just after lunch when it started to hail.

The clouds were very impressive on my walk today – plenty of photo opportunities. Luckily I had just got back to the car as the rain started.

It froze last night! There was frost on the grass and ice on the windows of the MX-5 when I got up. My sleeping gear kept me warm throughout the night but it was chilly whilst I was having my breakfast.
After sorting some things for Octagon, which included driving out to get a better internet connection, I set off from Lauder to walk some more of the Southern Upland Way.
I came across this picnic table at just about the time for a tea break – great view, tucked away out of the wind and a sun trap.
Lightweight titanium Alpkit brew kit – Kraku stove, MytiMug 400 and a Snapwire spoon.

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.
