A Walk with Kirsteen

Several weeks ago Kirsteen Davies asked me to show her the proposed route of the River Esk Walk so a week ago we selected this Saturday morning hoping the weather would improve. It was indeed an excellent choice as we had lovely sunny and fairly warm weather for the walk. Langholm Walks Group are planning to turn this riverside path into a waymarked walk and I am delighted to say that as of yesterday the money should soon be in place to fulfill this plan. There now begins the period of informing Land Owners and Farmers on the route of our plans. We work on the theory that it is better to work with them rather than against them, although due to the Scottish Land Reform Bill there should not be a problem with access . This photograph of Kirsteen is at my favourite part of the walk near Irving House
