Today was one of those 'let's meet half way' type things with a southern friend, which meant finding something to do near Peebles.

First up, a visit to the Mapa Scotland....or the Polish Map (which is nothing to do with making things shiny) followed by a really decent lunch at the very friendly The Horseshoe Inn in Eddleston. 🙂

I arrived in Eddleston a bit early so went for a random explore in the car up a lovely winding hill road...and inadvertently discovered a couple of enticing wee hills. I readily admit, I'd never heard of the Meldons before but I chalked them in for a return visit....erm.....after lunch ;-)

All in all a lovely afternoon in the Borders, under blue skies and a warm sun. Almost enough to make me forget winter. Almost ;-)

White & Black Meldon

Day didn’t get off to a good start when our hot beef baguette shop in Peebles was closed and we had to make do with some artisan sausage rolls.

A couple of wee steep hills with far-reaching views. Toilets closed cos of anti-social behaviour and we avoided the quad-biking, motorcycling, bonfire burning group in the main lay-by. Wrong Side of the Grass gig in village hall that evening.

Did the Earlston snow-drop walk (5 mile) the next day.
