Eddleston Valley.

A long(ish) club run today to Manor Sware, a hill overlooking Peebles, with the blip being of the Eddleston Water valley – though I wasn’t aware of the burn until I checked up the location on the map. The road leads over the Meldons, past the securely locked public conveniences, miles from anywhere other than wild camp sites (pop-up festival tent noted on descent). The building does serve a useful function in that the desperate traveller can pee against the back wall away from public gaze.
 
At lunch, we watched a brief storm moving towards Peebles, I was just preparing the camera when a side lobe of the storm came over the hill hitting us with a devastating broadside. By the time the onslaught had subsided, the weather over the town had also cleared.
 
Yesterday’s mystery is revealed in the extra; I’m pretty certain that it’s a fly agaric, the doubt is due to its colour and shape, though it does seem to fall just within the range that I’ve found on Google.
