A Misty Tarras Valley

John chose the route for this walk as he had to visit Tarras Lodge so when we planned it we thought the weather would be good but today proved different as it was very misty and at times we could hardly see more than 20 yards ahead. We started at the car park near Tarras Lodge where this photo was taken. 

The idea was to walk the 2.5 miles up the valley to Lodgegill and then walk back. The mist was at its worst at Lodgegill

This is the old farmhouse at Lodgegill which was destroyed by fire a few years ago. We had hoped to see plenty of wild life on this walk as the Tarras valley is famous for it, but we saw nothing and heard nothing. The bonus was the conversation we enjoyed on our walk with just the odd argument. We ended our walk with lunch at Whitshiels Cafe where as per usual we are very well looked after.
