Sunday 26th November 2023.
Today is Michelle’s birthday and after yesterdays busy active day we decided to have a relaxing day. After a lie in and Michelle had opened her cards and sent thank you texts we decided to wrap up and take Layla for a walk.
The map showed the Firth of Forth to be only a few hundred metres from the camp site and a footpath leading through some trees to the waters edge. However the map didn’t show we are 30m above sea level and the path dropped rapidly down via some rather precarious steps.
There is a wide tarmaced footpath being well used by cyclists, joggers and dog walkers, the tide was in but there were a few beach areas which turning a deaf ear Layla made a beeline for.
Just off shore there is Cramond Island which apparently you can walk out to at low tide, if you don’t leave in time you have to wait for low tide to be able to return.
Part way along the walk there is a large cafe with outdoor seating area and the road past the camp site Marine Drive ends there in a large car park. You can however continue walking along the wide pathway to Cramond a mile from the cafe.
We spent the afternoon relaxing and watching a film.
Tomorrow we are departing and our stopover is in Lancashire on the drive of Alison and Peter our motor-homing buddies.
