| Todays Wednesday walk took us to Dumfries and the home of John and Marion Glover. They had extended an invitation to us to to the 5 mile Burns Walk through Dumfries and along the river Nith. We commenced from John and Marion's home in Albany Place where Bowman checked us out before we headed off on our walk. |

| John joins us for a photo shoot. |
 |
| Bowman acting as guard at the house. He is such a beautiful dog and is so well behaved. Wherever we go he makes friends and especially with women who find him irresistible. |
 |
| Our route passed Dumfries Academy where David and Tom each spent 3 years of their lives many years ago. |
 |
| The walk along the banks of the Nith took us past many bridges and this one takes the Glasgow railway line over the river. |
 |
| Another bridge this time for the A75 Dumfries by pass. The A75 crosses the river Nith 3 times in the space of about a mile. |
 |
| We returned to Albany Place where John and Marion had laid on a lovely lunch and a very nice Beer so here is myself, John, and Tom toasting an excellent walk followed by superb hospitality. The walk took us 2 hours to cover the 5 miles and the expected rain stayed away so it was a most enjoyable day out in excellent company. |

Just what is needed after a walk.
Two of this group are no longer with us as John Glover and Peter Bart-Smith both died this year. They are greatly missed, but we are all the better from having had them as friends.
