This started off as a failed attempt last week on the bikes - wind and rain turned us back. So today, we thought we would extend a short ride over to Middleton with a bit of off-road on the way home.... turned out to be rather steeper and harder going than we thought, crossing a few fields on sheep tracks before the climb up to about 1500 ft.
The route took us from Heriot up to Shoestanes, then past the back of Falahill to the B road at Middleton. Then through the lanes keeping left until we got to Gladhouse. At Maudslie, we left the road and headed across the fields to the ridge, eventually meeting up with the B road to Innerleithen again.
