Drumlanrig Castle Walk

Today's walk started at the beautiful Drumlanrig Castle and included 6 of the Last of the Summer Wine walkers 4 from Langholm and 2 joining us from Edinburgh. It was a 9.5 mile walk following the Nith valley and then looping round on quiet country roads for the journey back to the Castle. When we left Langholm it was very misty and even when we set off from the Castle it was still there but beginning to lift. Within an hour the mist had gone and the sun was out although it was a real winter sun and very low in the sky.
We were back at the Castle after 4 hours of superb walking with the Nith looking particularly fast and fierce and it is say to see how it is such a popular river with canoeists.





I added this moss covered tree for Mr. Tootlepedal who is a great lover of this kind of photograph


Lunch as we leave the muddy paths for the road section


These sheep were very interested in us

Good to see a splendid mossy tree as well as all the mossy walkers.
