Glasgow (Balloch) to Edinburgh via the canal cycle path. Amazing to do that distance without any roads. And then on to do the Capital Trail

Have they got the kelpies changing colour at night, or are they still just a static colour?
Yea just static. But I'm amazed how busy the place actually is overnight
They are pretty cool when they slowly change colour. We stayed in February, but was very quiet over night. Nobody collected money from us!
We counted 30+ campers last night they were on you straight away for the money we are at inverness tonight and they have just emailed saying they won't be there to check us in lol. Must be low season now kids have gone back
What poles are you using for that canopy? I assume you can adjust them to get a fall from the can. I got some stitches & steel expanding ones but don’t trust them to stay upStaying at Draughton Heights near Skipton for a couple of days. Lucky to have the Dales on our doorstep

The poles came with the canopy. It's an OL Pro scenic canopy. The poles work perfectly with a twist and stay in place. Comes with storm straps and I've added a couple of ratchet lines to keep it tight. Also put 3 rock pegs around the base of each pole to stop them moving sideways. The canopy is on offer from OL Pro directly at the mo too and is top quality.
Watercress Line A somewhat wet walk around Alton and then went to the Watercress line to have a ride on the steam train but unfortunately it was not doing a return to Alton so opted to have a tea and just watch it leave. Got chatting to the Train driver and he let me up on the engine. The inner child was extremely happy and asked too many questions. The better half and her mother wondered where I had disappeared to. Will go back to have a proper day of it.
That’s one serious coffee machine. Cool that it doubles up to cook sausage rolls and meat pies though. 
I could hear my vast collection of Whitworth spanners rattling in my workshop when I read this.
Was that a rare T0? Haven’t we come a long way?!
Sometimes I think we haven’t come as far as we think we have.
Borders Gliding Club, Northumberland just down the road from me. Not much flying today though as very blowy !
Decamped to Ford Village to watch a bit of Cricket at the Estate, sun coming out now
Where have we been in our van today?
Over half of bloody Scotland, but not the bit we were supposed to be.
Arran ferries to Brodick cancelled, so reservation refunded, and Mon/Tues already fully booked.
So drove up all the way past Loch Lomond and back down Kintyre, now at Tarbert Holiday Park with at least one other last minute booking chasing the other ferry tomorrow.
