New Year's ride .


On the bike . To the Cramond Village . The weather was welcoming , and many people jumped to the same idea . When I came to Cramond late afternoon , there was horrible traffic jam , in the narrow street coming down to the shore . At this time of day the tide was low . So many people wanted to take stroll to Cramond Island . The Island lies in the Firth of Forth , 1.5 mile off  Cramond . And as walkway is exposed when the tide is low , that's easy way to get to the Island .
The place is really nice . Small old village just opposite the Island , and river Almond , finishes it's run  in the very same spot .









River Almond pours out freshwater into the bay . When high tide , in this place these waters mix . On the picture ,  you can see that river's waters run where normally sea waters stay .
