Short ride up the Ettrick Valley




Monday 06 June 2016

A lovely ride on a quiet road. Apart from four timber lorries and a mobile library van, we saw maybe two cars. 


Ettrick Water is a delightful river, much like a mini-Tweed, clear, fast flowing with a rocky or pebbly bed.
The road from Ettrick village is not a through road, and from the cottage to the end of the surfaced road at Potburn climbs very gently. 

Harry rode further along the track  from here, while I sauntered back taking snaps.

The weather started sunny and warm, though we did have a heavy shower before we got back.

  1. Apart from the library van, the traffic you mention is much the same here! Lovely photos, Alison.

  2. Ther is a little more on the roads which lead somewhere, but you couldn't call this area busy! It's a delight.
