Description

A good holiday should start with a good exercise. So I left the Tweedside campsite and made for the Innerleithen MTB trails at Elibank. To test my fitness, and for a warming up, I first took the push-up from the forest road to the start of the downhill trails. I managed to cycle quite a lot of it but due to the previous night’s storm some fallen trees had blocked the trail at places. On top of Plora Rig (474 mtrs) I turned my nose to where the Tweed flows and made the acquaintance of Death by Mud!
