Gone!
Lauder Camping and Caravan Club Site
Packed away ready to pick up Jeremy and head back to Lincoln.
Borders Abbeys Way
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.

Southern Upland Way – Galashiels
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.

Lauder campsite frozen @CampAndCaravan
This was what the site was like at 7.30 this morning.
It is on mornings like this that I really appreciate my down sleeping bag!

Tea on the Southern Upland Way
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.

Monday
It was an up, then down, then up day. It started off fine and sunny, then cooled and got very grey, but now it is a warm sunny evening.
the view from my new pitch
I moved my tent today to a new pitch, that gets the early sun. My previous pitch was in shadow until much later. All I now need is sun tomorrow.
