By the time I have walked about four miles, my toes are screaming at me - it's the arthritis, you see. One of the joys of being that little bit older than I was. However, for a long time, I have been keen to walk along the beaches, and follow the coastal path, between Gullane and North Berwick. So, having worked out the tide times, I decided today was the day, and off we went. Below is our starting point, the bay at Gullane. It's a lovely beach, very popular with dog walkers.

ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you Antonia ! I am sure you and your family will be enjoying this lovely spell of weather on your beautiful Cornish beaches! They seem a long way from here on Scotland's east coast, but we have been sharing the temperatures! A rare treat! My grandchildren have broken up for the summer holidays now, but imagine yours have another two or three weeks to go? Have a lovely holiday time when it comes! A x
