Aberlady to North Berwick

It's holiday Monday so James and I decided to go for a walk. The weather was more promising on the east coast so James planned us a nice coastal walk from Aberlady to North Berwick. And very nice it turned out to be! It was near a section of the John Muir way but it wound around roads and country lanes whereas we preferred to stick to the coast and walked along beaches for most of the way. 

As is usual during a walk with the observant James, we saw plenty of wildlife. There were several roe deer on the grass at Gullane Sands, geese, cormorants and eider ducks. It was warm with hardly a breeze so we had a couple of relaxing stops for coffee and snacks while enjoying views of the sea and Fidra lighthouse. We joined the actual John Muir way as we approached North Berwick along the side of the golf course. It was great to see lots of people outside enjoying the good weather. 

James had printed out the bus timetable for our return journey and we had time for a pleasant coffee before catching the bus back to Aberlady. The bus driver dropped us right at our car park and now we are on our way home. An excellent walk of 15 km in about 4 hours including stops.
