11 of us drove up to Clatteringshaws Loch visitors' centre and set off to the radio mast on Benniguinea Hill.
The main purpose of this blog is to keep in touch with friends and family, and maybe entertain others with common interests, particularly in relation to the outdoors. We hope you enjoy it, and your comments are valued....

Thursday 25 April 2024 - The Mull of Galloway
Eight of us enjoyed a 10km stroll around the Mull of Galloway, which claims to be the southernmost tip of Scotland, with views towards the Lake District as well as the Galloway hills with which we are becoming familiar.
Pictured above are Jenny and David, near the start, on their way to a lovely section of coast.

Wednesday 24 April 2024 - Craiglee
Today's 13km walk with Keith, Carol and Julie took us on a circuit from Bruce's Stone, over the 531 metre summit of Craiglee.
The view from Bruce's Stone (top picture) towards Loch Trool seems better than yesterday's, but the rest of the team at the stone is very similar.

Sunday 21 April 2024 - Cairnsmore of Carsphaim
Here's Stewart House, our quirky abode for the week. The fire alarm woke anyone who might have thought of sleeping in, and the power surge that caused that also turned the heating off. And Richard's bed broke! All sorted by a maintenance man from Dumfries.
