Dumfries and District Ramblers” Thursday walk this month was at Eskdalemuir and was led by Stuart. It was a fabulous sunny day which made for extensive views over the rolling landscape.
A small group of Ramblers recently helped Phil to recce a walk for the next programme. This time the group had fabulous weather for the recce in Borrowdale. It can only be hoped the weather will be as obliging in January when it is actually due to take place.
