Windy Beaches in Dunbar

Borders Cross Country Series continued with a four (and a bit) mile loop around the John Muir Country Park. This started off with a down-wind dash through a water-logged salt marsh, and then we turned into the wind and hit the beach. We followed the wet and compact sand to a loose sandy spit, across a river, and eventually turned out of the wind again and headed back through some woods to the finish line.

Then a group of us turned around and ran it again in reverse. We finished just as the weather deteriorated into a gale. We took shelter and had a good feed, at a farm shop cafe.
