Up before the larks get up.....

An early start means lights are needed for the first hour 
A baby’s dummy teat provides some light (get the pun?) relief

Hurricane Ophelia hadn’t arrived but it was still hard going into a strong headwind along the side of Thriepmuir reservoir
At least the water level wasn’t too high at the ford and we both managed across with no mishaps 

Off before 6am on Sunday morning for a Pentland cycle with a wind that just got stronger the higher we went, at least it had the decency to blow from behind when we turned for home. 26 miles covered and over 2.500 feet of climbing meant it was a reasonable way to spend an early Sunday morning!
