The Canonbie Umbrella Walk Route

Tom choose todays walk at Canonbie because he wanted to check the route for the Rotary Umbrella Walk on 25th March. We were delighted to meet John Packer as we walked through Canonbie and he took this photo as well as giving us all a lot of cheek.  
As we walked along the bank of the Liddle this bird was seen on a tree on the other side of the river. It was not good for taking a photo as I was looking right into the sun. I think it was a Buzzard.

Followed by Tom who insisted on having his lunch and of course he was the only one eating as nobody else had brought anything to eat.
The River Esk as it joins the Liddle 
The set of steps at this point down to the river have had to be moved as the riverbank at the old site 20 yards away was being washed away. Hopefully they will be safe here.
Canonbie Kirk where I used to ring the bell occasionally as a boy when I helped my friend Robert Irving
This is just below the Deed Nook Pool where part of the rock Cliff has fallen into the river. Another dry and very pleasant Wednesday walk finished off with lunch in the Whitshiels Cafe back in Langholm.
