Join me today on a lovely East Lothian coastal walk.

Starting from the Yellow Craigs Car Park, (Charges Apply) our route follows the coastline towards Gullane Bay, past the Gullane Sands and then join up with the John Muir Way to take us back to our starting position.

If the tide is low enough, this should afford us good views of the Volcanic geology of the region and wrecks of old WW2 mini subs. This is the intended lunch spot but please note that this could be an early lunch and will be determined by Group Walk Speed. Our return route will let us view Dirleton with It's fine castle and an old WW2 radar station which is now a Grand Design's converted home.
