Bright sunny early AM in Eyemouth. Short drive up the coast to St Abbs before the masses arrived. Left our cars in NT cp. By 10:30 it was lashing down with a strong bitterly cold wind. Three layers and full waterproofs. Pretty grim for an hour. Cleared away early afternoon, waterproofs off, met taxi at Cockburnspath after passing through Pease Bay which was a zoo with large crowds and brave surfers. Collected cars, cross country drive home via Kelso then A7 from Hawick, down M6, collected my car in Kendal, home 4 hours later.
Love Scotland when it’s nice weather
Hate it when walking long distances over high ground in sideways rain and hail for several hours.
B & B in pubs, hotels, even with shared accommodation isn’t cheap. Add on evening meals, a few drinks and Spain, even with car hire and flights, is a cheaper option, by a fair margin, for a week or so renting a nice villa if a few of you.
