The summer just hasn’t made any impression this year but I am still hoping for some dry weather and planning to have at least one more trip before autumn.

The Scottish coast to coast route from Annan to Edinburgh looks tempting. Even at my slow pace, I think I’d be able to do it in 3/4 days. I can take the train to Annan and at the other end, either train back from Edinburgh or cycle home along the Forth and Clyde canal. The circular route looks more pleasing to me even though the final day would be a long one.

Since meeting the LEJOG guy on the train from Thurso, I am tempted to think about Lands End to John o’ Groats but that will probably be for another year and will take a lot more planning than I normally put in to my trips. I like to book the train and just go.
