05.09.09 Walking in the Pentlands



We went walking in the Pentlands Hills today, they are only a 15-minute drive away! It was very windy, we had no map, didn't bring waterproofs nor water and food except for a few cookies so did everything wrong really, but still managed a good hike and were treated to great views over Edinburgh and beyond. Arthur's Seat still being our favourite.










It was quite windy as you can tell











You wouldn't really think it's the beginning of September but that's Scotland for you (as we've found out quickly)







To our surprise we even found out there is ski slope! The lack of snow was cunningly disguished by some sort of white velcro surface, but skiers went down fast there nonetheless.
It looked like fun and we'll definitively give it a try later in the year.
