Clatteringshaws
A walk around the Clatteringshaws cycle path. It was sunny most of the way round but clouded over and started to rain when we stopped for lunch. At least we were treated to some rainbows. 13.7 miles elevation 227m … Continue reading
Striding Arches
Three separate walks in June and July. First walk 27th June was the shortest, to the arch on Colt hill. It’s quite a bumpy drive up from Moniaive to the the parking spot at Cairnhead and I arrived to find … Continue reading
Glenmidge
Strange that such a pleasant walk exists so close to home. Though I’m not sure I could find where we went on a map. From memory the route goes from Glenmidge, down towards Hallidayhill but taking a right fork up … Continue reading
Loch Trool Circuit
A 5 miler around Loch Trool on a sunny but cool day. The dogs had trouble with some of the wooden bridges and could not quite grasp the use of a kissing gate. Lynn refused to push Bruce’s Stone, presumably … Continue reading
Dalbeattie to Colvend
A nice easy stroll through the woods on forest tracks. There are no steep hills and the total ascent is just 159m. There were several watering holes for the dogs but unfortunately there were also opportunities for them to get … Continue reading
Dumfries to Lochfoot
16 miles 4 hours 45 mins Total ascent 226m Pleasant walk with lots of lambs and calves, mounted damsels in (minimal) distress and even an orange-tipped butterfly. (Another Margaret walk) The cycle track from near the A701/A75 junction then … Continue reading
East Lodge to Mabie
20.1 miles 6 hours 10 mins Max elevation 326m total ascent 700m Fantastic walk. I’ve broken the 20 mile barrier! Shame there wasn’t enough milk for hot chocolate. The forestry have tracks from East Lodge, between Mainsriddle and … Continue reading
Margaret’s Mabie Special
18.2 miles 5 hours 40 mins Max elevation 192m but total ascent 642m A good walk at what I would regard as a blistering pace. I was certainly flagging at the end and if we had gone further … Continue reading
