Tuesday 27th March


We are now in Kippford, Dumfries and Galloway, just South of Dalbeattie and what a lovely spot it is.

Walking in Keswick with Derwentwater behind Sue


We reluctantly left Keswick earlier today although we may head back there later on in the trip. We'd had a good walk yesterday into Keswick then back up hill again as the site is over 400ft above the town. Walking through the woods alongside a tinkling stream was lovely with the birdsong all around. I then walked across the hills to the Castlerigg Stone Circle which was further than I thought but a lovely walk all the same.

We have managed to get on a site about 15minute walk up a slight hill from the waterfront in Kippford where there is a pub and a shop that does not open for a few days yet. Fortunately there is a small shop on the site that sells, amongst other essentials several types of scone. I can recommend their treacle scones so far.

Glorious weather continues and we are hoping to explore the area tomorrow. We are here for three nights before moving on to the coast further to the North West of where we are now.
