27th May.
A bright windless morning but the clouds thickened by mid afternoon, clearing again in the evening.
Down through the woods to the road, along for a bit then the long climb up and down and up to get to Lowther Hill with its golf ball.
It was very windy on the top and needed a jacket for the walk along the service road to Green Lowther.
And back again to Lowther Hill, just because Green Lowther is the highest point.
Down then to Wanlock Head, the highest village in Scotland where there was a gold panning competition taking place.

There is also the highest pub in Scotland where I had a long lunch to get my phone charged and catch up with the blog. FC

On down the Wanlock Water where there were a number of people panning for gold ( not competitors).
Up and round the forest to reach Spango Bridge.
Obviously a popular camping spot as it looked like a campsite.
I went back up by the river a bit to escape. Must have been an annoy Roger day as there had been a hen party cackling away in the pub too.
16 miles walked 1000 meters ascent.
