From The Tarras Valley over to The Ewes Valley

Its almost a year since I last walked this route and it was with John and Peter. Today it was with Niall and Tom and this was a first for Niall. The weather was glorious and we stopped for a minute to sit in Jim (Teef) Telfer's) seat and consider the many happy times we have had in this valley.

I do so love this valley and I maintain it is one of the Hidden Places of Scotland that very few people know about and long may it remain this way. We only met two other people and they were planning a long walk so we were able to give them some advise. If their car is still where they left it by next week then we know they did not follow our advise. 

This is Arkleton Hill in the distance.

One of the best places to swim in The Tarras River

This walk was full of flowers with Foxgloves by far the most popular

The walk through the old forestry path which has now been replanted is a profusion of flowers  

At Arkleton Farm in the Ewes Valley there was a gathering of Lambs that look as if they will soon be on their way to market
