Finally fixed the harbour gate that was damaged in a storm a few years ago... Great to see shops back in the harbour. Shame to see the sunken ship still there, fingers crossed they'll sort that soon...

This section runs adjacent to a small burn. There were maybe 20 people at different points along this pass, it is popular with dog walkers. There are quite a lot of walk boards that are elevated where you will need to dismount and lift the bike over
