East Lodge to New Abbey

Margaret sits on the log bench she had, minutes before, destroyed. Luckily no one was physically injured, though Mike was forced to move more quickly than he is usually does.

A good walk. It was on good forest paths and then roads for the last mile or so. I was surprised to find so much snow still lying about given how warm it felt when we set off. We didn’t see another soul on the way. I thought the views were quite good but the pictures are a bit boring I’m afraid. The windfarm out to sea doesn’t show up in my pictures.

I managed to complete the walk having been stretched by Margaret (many thanks). Elaine says she was sorely tempted to use my camera to record the torture, sorry, stretching. Even poor Blue was limping towards the end. I hope he is recovering from his sore paw now.

The coffee shop at New Abbey is a good excuse for finishing the walk there.
