| Today's walk started at Harestanes Visitor Centre near Ancrum and it was Tom's Birthday Walk. Unfortunately only 4 of us were able to make it due to illness and other commitments. The forecast was for better weather further east and this proved to be spot on as the heavy rain cleared once we were past Hawick and it remained dry for the whole walk, but very windy. This is a Spanish Hedgehog Fir at Harestanes. |
 |
| The first part of the walk took us through a lovely wooded area with some very old trees. Almost as old as these 3 guys. |

| The Waterloo Monument in the distance |
 |
| The Waterloo Monument was built by the Marquis of Lothian in 1835 and it sits at 774ft above sea level. |
 |
| There is a viewing platform at the top but you need special permission to climb it |
 |
| Today's walkers getting the full force of the wind. |
