A Misty Day in Newcastleton

It was just Peter and myself today for our Wednesday Walk and the weather was pretty dismal although it was not raining. This photo in the forest at Dykecrofts gives an idea what the visibility was like. On a good day this walk is spectacular with some excellent views of the Liddel valley. 
North of Newcastleton after walking through the forrest section this is the old bridge over the Liddel.
And just a little bit further along is the bridge over the Hermitage water just before it joins the Liddel. 
This pair of Shetland ponies don't mind the weather. 
Walking back into Copshaw along the old Waverley railway line it backs onto this house with the spectacular Pod in the garden which I think belongs to artist Julie Dumbarton. 
Back in Newcastleton work is going on at a pace on the new filling station which will be unmanned but will allow locals and visitors to get petrol at all hours. 
We managed to do a short detour to find a Geocache at the local cemetery.
Dykecroft Circular which on a good day would be an excellent walk.
