YOUNGSTERS across Peebles are saddling up for the Novice Ride Out as the Beltane Festivities continue this week.

Starting at 6pm tonight (Thursday, June 22), the Cornet and Lass will lead the novice riders from Kingsmeadows car park.

The cavalcade will then cross Tweed Bridge and turn into the High Street, and then head down Edinburgh Road, before fording the ‘cuddy’ up along March Street, turning into Montgomery Place and down Elcho Street Brae.

From here, the riders will again go up the High Street via the Cuddy Bridge before turning down Tweed Brae, then along Tweed Green heading up to Port Brae, and turning left on to Tweed Bridge and back to Kingsmeadows car Park.
