Back From the USA and Walking Again

After 6 weeks in California it was good to get back with the lads and out for a long walk again. I had not seen Tom for 8 weeks and had forgotten how awkward, contrary, and argumentative he can be and boy had I missed that experience. He was at his best today and at times Peter had to keep the peace but it was great fun. Don't ever change Tom we love you just the way you are. The walk was to cover part of the Umbrella walk route which Tom will be leading on 28th March. This is one of my favourite walks especially as It was my idea to promote it as one of the Langholm Walks routes. Canonbie kirk looking beautiful in the spring sunshine.

Peter threatening to jump over the old railway viaduct on the Liddell. We tried to persuade him to jump but he decided not to bother.

We were of course trespassing. This is a tight squeeze for Tom. We walked as far as the old Riddings Junction station on the Waverley Line but there is nothing to see now. 

The gang of three. A pleasure to be back walking with the Last of the Summer Winers.
