The Rhinns of Hell
15.9 miles 1332m ascent 8h 40m Well, what can I say? We met, fed, bursting with energy, wagging tails (those that had them), and ready for a day forecast with sunshine, to feast our eyes on the views from the … Continue reading
Seeking the Grey Man

7.4 miles 3h 45m 690m ascent This started as a clear, blue skied slightly frosty day. It seemed ideal for walking. The field with cows that two months earlier had been a quagmire of mud and excrement was now frozen. … Continue reading
Cairnsmore of Carsphairn
This was a difficult walk because the errant border terrier Leo chose to do a runner and could not be found. As you will see from the photos, it was a beautiful day for walking. The picture above is the … Continue reading
