Day 12. Abington To Edinburgh 45 miles.

A short and simple day to get me to Edinburgh. This morning felt cold for the first time on the trip with a touch of ground frost. This I feel was down to the exposed location more than the forecast.

The route taken was easy going with gentle undulations and little traffic. Scenery gradually became a more colourful tone of green and a scattering of bright yellow farmland as signs of life returned.

Through Carstairs Junction and across land that was similar to a typical Pennine view, followed by a gentle descent towards Edinburgh where I took the canal into the city. A short, pleasant ride, and yet another successful day. Am I pushing my luck here, perhaps?
