The Pentland Skyline.....has it ever been dryer? Oh and Andy Murray won Wimbledon as well......

dougie completes the hike a bike to the top of West Kip favouring the "over the shoulder" method.

The bikes appear to be having a conversation, probably why two idiots have brought them up here....

On Wednesday night Dougie suggested an assault on the Pentlands Skyline on Sunday morning so we set off at 7am (no Baz so it was not in Dougie's words "stupid o'clock!). The weather was perfect a light south westerly breeze and a slight cloud covering to keep the temperature reasonable, there is after all a fair bit of hike a biking to be done. the look on hill walkers faces when they see two guys puffing up a steep track near the top of a mountain is priceless, I'd like to hear what they say about our sanity! The descents were a bit hairy a times, it's so dry just now (I cant believe I've written that about Scotland!) that the tracks a very loose and slidey but apart from the odd foot down (from me) there were no accidents. Just to finish things off the sun popped out on the final mile back home to bump the temperature up, and even better to finish things off, Andy Murray won the men's singles at Wimbledon, though I couldn't bear to watch some off it and went out for another12 miler!!
