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.

Walking on the Southern Upland Way
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.

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.

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.
