I don’t know why I decided to walk to Corstorphine hill! It was really muddy but for some reason I did.

As I approached the hill I was surprised to see a crocus! A little out of place but there it was! A sign of more to come. Spring is coming.

I entered Corstorphine hill via Clermiston which in itself was quite the view. I could actually see the Pentlands.

I took the path that went around the perimeter of the hill. I attempted to go up the hill, but I was slipping and sliding all over the place and thought the better of it. So I kept to the perimeter.

So after making a make/shift hiking stick, I took a leisurely walk through the woods.

Midway I found that coveted seat with a view! I popped open my flask, sat down, and took in that scene.. I stayed there for quite some time. I eventually continued my walk.

I love fresh moss! There was plenty to enjoy on this path. It is so easy to understand how this forest could inspire tales of folklore. As I progressed, it was lovely to see snowdrops scattered throughout the forest floor.

The wild snowdrops topped my day.
