Our First Week of Self Isolation

On Tuesday we started our enforced Isolation on instructions of the Government. I still plan to walk every day but will just do it in the remote areas round Langholm of which there are plenty. We visited Rowanburn, Terras Valley, and Westerhall Estate. The weather has been excellent and Gaye joined me on two out of the four walking trips. She met the Tin Man at Rowanburn.

The remotest part of Terras Valley with Lodgegill in the background. The house was destroyed by fire a few years ago but The Langholm Moor Purchase Group would like to turn it into a Bunkhouse and Outdoor Adventure Centre if they succeed in raising the money to purchase the 10,000 acres
