Wednesday 1-1-2020: HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

When I awoke I figured I had napped for a short time but the sun direction was all wrong and realised I had missed New Years Eve altogether ... doh !!

I packed my gear and headed off down Big River Road and it wasn't long before i spotted the first views of the Eildon Weir.

I had a look around Eildon before heading round to see some relies as it was still quite early.

I dropped in for a coffee and a chat before hitting the road again taking the Skyline track out of Eildon.
