If coastlines aren’t your thing, here’s an inland alternative: starting in Edinburgh, hop on the Lothian X7 bus and take that all the way out to Haddington. For breakfast, I rate The Loft. Haddington has some lovely wee shops to explore and if you time it right, a great market. A visit to The Cheese Lady is a must if you enjoy cheese and wine. There’s a nice river walk (10K) from Haddington to East Linton along the River Tyne (though it can get overgrown at certain times of years, so mind for nettles). Once in East Linton you’ll need to swing by Bostock Bakery. From here you could continue walking all the way to Belhaven and Dunbar (another 10-12K) or jump back on the X7 and take that to Belhaven. From here, there’s the beach, John Muir Country Park, or the cliff walk in to Dunbar. As in the video, grab a chippy, and a beer at Station Yard before catching the train back to Edinburgh. And that, my friend, is a good day.
One correction. You cannot get from North Berwick to Dunbar on the train by changing at Drem. The Dunbar trains do not stop at Drem. It would make sense if they did, but they don't.
Excellent video. I've been shielding through this rona and I am dying to get out now that it's calming down a bit. I'm gonna set out early one day this week and follow your trail.
Great vid Dan! Quick random question, did you switch watches (used to seeing you in an Apple Watch)? Or just a different watch for this video? Perhaps a Garmin on the wrist?
Good spotting! I’ve been wearing a Coros Apex recently - my Apple Watch (Series 4) was starting to struggle with battery life. Still love it but wasn’t doing its job on the longer runs. Waiting until Apple come out with something more exciting before I switch back - the Series 5/6 don’t excite me. Thanks for watching!
What has Longniddry got? Let's start with getting your Alanda's fish'n'chip fix without having to go all the way to North Berwick. The 124 will drop you at Longniddry Bents No3 car park where Alanda's have a year-round pitch (fish'n'chips on the beach in the snow is an experience worth trying!) You're just a couple of feet from the sand and the rock pools - what's not to like? (And if you think Tyninghame's over-rated, you may not be going to the best bits. But yes - go winter or go early and get off the main drag....)
Very true - a chippy while watching the kitesurfers at Bents #3 is a good time! And you may be right about Tyninghame, I’ve been pretty unlucky there with the wind, and car parking. I remember one day last summer they closed the road it was so busy!
@@DTiPNZ True dat. I think we've been just once? twice? since the first Lockdown lifted. But head LEFT out of the car park towards the beach on a crisp winter's morning and it's like heaven....
Hey Dougie, thanks for watching and for the comment - you’re absolutely right, I completely misread what Google Maps was showing me. Thanks for the correction!
The Food Hamper on Dunbar high street is the place to go for food
Great to know - I’ll take a look!

Thanks for watching - yes, someone had pointed that out to me earlier, couldn’t believe it!
Brilliant video clip. Love my hometown of East Lothian. Well done mate. 👏. X

Try fish n chips from The Waterfront, Fish Quay, North Shields
Then walk along to the harbour to eat them
Stunning

Great stuff, let me know what you think afterwards - hopefully we can put on some sunshine for you!
@@DTiPNZ hey man, I got the 26 down to seton Sands, what a great beach and Friday evenings yhey do dogging in the car park.
Great vid Dan!

@@DTiPNZ cheers! Would love to see a future video on your take on the Coros watch!
@@ZeRo-22- That’s a great idea - consider it done!
Really fab video (it really is a great place to live, isn’t it)

Hello. Really good video. Just one point. Unfortunately you can't change at Drem for Dunbar, on train. You have to change at Musselburgh or Edinburgh

Hi l live in musseburgh and I like your videos but can you please stop killing the name of the town in east Lothian.
Haha, my bad, I’ll try my best! At this rate it’s becoming something of a running joke.
