Southern Uplands - Day 2

There were lots of toadstools outside the van in the morning.



We moved on to Moffat and parked in the car park opposite station park. We were doing a walk up the Annandale Way round the Devil's Beef Tub and back.

We started by walking beside the river Annan, then up a country lane and across fields. Saw a bunch of sheep sheltering under trees.


Further up we crossed the road and went up to the north side of the Devil's Beef Tub and to the top of Annandale Hill where we had our lunch.


There was a crashed van at the bottom. Apparently the driver survived!


We then started walking along the ridge at the top of the walk, with more good view.


Then came the walk back down towards Moffat. Once we had descended through the new forestry that had been planted, most of the route was on a lane, with nice views back up the valley.


We passed an interesting tree covered in fungus.


By just after 4pm we had arrived back at the campervan. We had coffee and a sandwich before leaving to go home to Edinburgh.
