Castle O'er in the Rain

Only Tom, Peter, and myself today and the forecast for this morning was awful but we were determined to do this 5.5 mile walk despite the weather. The plan was to do the walk and then have a soup lunch back at Ardlui followed by a visit to Buccleuch Mill to see the many small companies now occupying the old mill.

Castle O'er Hill Fort which is the largest in the area.

I have added this old tree stump covered in Lichen and Moss for my friend Tom who is always interested in this. Unfortunately the bad weather and dark conditions did not help but this is quite spectacular. The weather was pretty awful so no more photos were taken but we enjoyed the walk and also enjoyed the home made soup provided by Gaye on our return to Langholm. We then headed to Langholm Initiative office for our trip round Buccleuch Mill at 2.00pm where we were joined by David who had missed the morning walk.
