Drew says: "This is a circular walk that is all about the views".
Fortified by coffee and scones twenty-two
hardy souls braved the snow to do the walk round Mortonhall and the Braids. The
main party started from the Braids
Driving Range
(after coffee and scones for some) and the rest from Mortonhall Garden Centre,
where Alex also finished so he could do some pet shopping.
Whilst the paths were a trifle
muddy in places (memories of Stow)
the weather turned out better than forecast and once the snow stopped we could
see Berwick Law and the Bass Rock. It was also fun wading through the snow to
finish at the view point on the Braids, I’m sure someone made a comment like
that. The views from there proved worth the walk.
Let’s hope the April walk finds
us out walking in some hot sunshine as opposed to minus temperatures.
