East Lothian Orienteers want to re-map Saltoun Woods so I finally went to have a look at (the eastern half of) Saltoun on Sunday. It's true that some large areas of dark green have been felled but, since foresters don't clear up after themselves, they are pretty unpleasant areas of brashings. I also didn't see any obvious features unearthed as a result. There are quite a few new ditches and a large new track. I came through a couple of pleasant runnable areas, though. In another ten years, once the brashings have rotted down, it might be OK. I know that no-where looks good at this time of year but, all in all, I wasn't impressed. Maybe losing my Blackberry somewhere in Saltoun [due to a the zip failing on my ancient bumbag] put me in a bad mood. I did run a bit, but no more ant a couple of kilometers at any speed.
