A better day for the boatie club lift out. And suitable for a visit to the MiL in Haggs, too. 

Train to Camelon  then onto the bikes, past the Falkirk wheel and further west along the canal at a sedate pace so as not to tire out the pup too much.

Sloes were picked en route (there's not the glut of previous years....) and a brief encounter on the doorstep as ever. 

Then the same 10km back along the canal,  soup stop near Bonnybridge (it has a bridge, I suppose)

Migraine as we boarded the train, largely subsided by Edinburgh and home for dinner at Hers
