About Me

I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

Bonnie Scotland!

I'm in Scotland!

On Saturday after, quite literally, a marathon - 26 miles from Caldbeck to Gretna Green.

Today was very wet again.  The start from Caldbeck to Carlisle was fine with great views again.  From Carlise I had to go to Longtown in order to cross over the river and the M6.
The Castle at Longtown

I was absolutely determined to get to Gretna Green today so I can say "I'm in Scotland!"

Thank you all again for your comments.  I can and do pick them up on my phone when I'm walking and they do keep me going!

I'm very tired now so some food, a drink and bed methinks!

Excellent progress Ray - I bet you're feeling really proud of yourself, and rightly so. We managed to stride over hill and vale yesterday to The Oak for a helping of 'Rumours' - well worth the trek.
Hoping for some better weather this weekend - it would be great if you could have some of it too, now you're approaching the wilds. Bet the views are breathtaking. Love A and L xx
