Peebles is a popular stop-off for those walking from Lands End to John o' Groats and we always feel that Spring has properly arrived when we are visited by our first through-hiker of the year.
Usually identified by their weather beaten appearance and purchase of the next Ordnance Survey Map to the west of Peebles- today's visitor confirmed that the weather over the last few weeks has been fantastic for getting out and doing stuff in the outdoors. To be fair, he was only heading as far as Fort William but he had at least set off from Lands End, so as an indicator of the changing season we reckon he'll do and we look forward to welcoming more end-to-enders over the coming weeks.
