For some time now Mike and myself and occasionally Charlie have been walking every Thursday. This week we all headed separately to Newcastleton to do the Dykecroft Circular Walk which is about 7 miles. This is an inscription on a building next to an old church in Castleton on the outskirts of Newcastleton. My friend the Revd. Bob Milne and also another friend Bob Bowen came back to me after I had put it on Facebook and it says "Today me and Tomorrow you".
An old bridge on the outskirts of Newcastleton. There is a new bridge next to it so this one is not used now.
~t the end of the Forestry section of this walk this bridge takes us back towards the main road.
On the old Waverly Railway line back into Newcastleton this is the garden of artist Julie Dumbarton and shows her lovely Garden Pod
We had hoped to travel the last 2 miles of the walk on the old Waverley Railway line but realised it was very muddy and difficult to access in places so we went onto the line about a mile from Copshaw but this also was difficult in places to get through.
On our way to Newcastleton we travelled separately in our own cars and just a few miles from the village we had to turn back due to a lorry having overturned nearer the village. We all arrived at the start of our walk a wee bit late but we were on our way after about a 20 minute delay having detoured via Canonbie.
On our way out of the village we spotted this holiday caravan that has been converted into a log cabin to great effect.
Another bridge in the centre of the parkland area of the walk.
