My Birthday Walk round Castle Loch

This was my postponed Birthday Walk and I am delighted to report that we had a complete full house of friends walking. I chose Castle Loch at Lochmaben as it was easier for Tom who is recovering from surgery. The walk is about 5.5 miles and was only completed last year but they have done a good job with it and it is excellent. The Edinburgh contingent arrived at Lockerbie station and we all arrived at the starting lay bye within a minute of each other.

Bowman as always is the centre of attention. He loves walking with us all and takes his place at the front  and looks round every now and again to make sure we are all following.

Tom at the front with David did very well after his recent surgery but was very tired by the time we finished. It was great to have him back walking with us. After the walk we headed to The Townhead Hotel in Lockerbie where we had an excellent meal.
