Martin's choice for his Birthday Walk was taken from the excellent publication "Walking in the Land of the Reivers" by I.W.Landles and A.G.Brydon from Hawick. It starts at the Stobs Camp 4 miles south of Hawick on the Hawick to Newcastleton road. The camp was a German Prisoner of War camp in the First World War and an army camp in the second world war.
This photograph was taken at the highest point on the walk Penchrise Pen (1430ft). John and I knew where we were but as usual Tom is lost and Martin is searching for the answer.
At the furthest point of the walk in the middle of the forest is a stone called The Tinlee Stone and it is believed it was used as a meeting point by the Wardens of the Marches in the reiving period. It was a very difficult job finding it but Martin persisted and was eventually successful.
On the way back we came to this extensive Iron Age Earthwork and it is one of the best examples of this I have seen.

That's four ancient monuments in the same picture.
