Day Trip To heaven! (part 1)

The forecast said,”Fine, with a gentle breeze!”   What more did we need?
Hitting the trail early, we ventured forth!

The low October sun, really did have some warmth in it,  horses sweated, as we climbed up to the top of the Border Ridge. This Ridge divides the Countries of Scotland and England.

Unfortunately, as is the case here, the weather didnt last!  Still we managed a good four hour ride, and in good company!

It was a real shame when we had to turn for home, its not often we get days like this, and after the “summer” we have had, you`ve got to grab them while you can!
