Baddinsgill to East Calder

Weather today: Cloudy Warm

Daily Miles Covered: 9.3

Total Miles Covered: 743.2

Things of Interest: Pentland Hills

Personal Comments: Leaving Broomlee centre where we were treated so kindly, we made our way back to Baddinsgill farm. I said goodbye to Ross, as it was uphill from the start. Last night we had a torrential downpour which wiped out all the tracks on the paths, It seemed that I was the only person who had ever walked on the Pentlands. Not very high, but high enough to have a certain charm, for me. I pressed on knowing that Janet was bringing Harry our final driver, and essential supplies. The sun did it's best to break through, but kept falling behind high thin clouds. It was a lonely place, for once again I never saw anyone. Once across, I had to to follow the A70 for a short while and then a minor road to East Calder. I spotted a track which took me down to the main railway between Glasgow and Edinburgh, I quickly skipped over a fence, and the track, to make it to East Calder, A small town between Livingston an Edinburgh.
An easy day, but not tomorrow.
