annandale way. annan to lockerbie.

hi folks

about two week ago i walk a section of the annandale way. it was very much a last minute decision on sunday night i thought it would be a good idea to do the walk as the monday was the best weather forecast for the week. so in the morning after dropping my daughter at nursery my good lady dropped my off at the mouth of the river annan. the start of the route had great vues but there was a lot of litter around which had probably blown up from the beach. soon i was into annan and out the other side i had already spent a lot of time taking photos so i decided to get on with walking so i could get home before dark. the route was well waymarked and only about 3 of the 20 miles i walked was on road. over day i sore less than 10 people whilst i was not in either of the towns on route. after my little taster i think i will have to walk the hole thing to moffat whilst wild camping. there was certainly plenty of good spots to wild camp the part i walked so i would think it will be similar the rest of the was.

It's nice to see the reverse view I'm always seeing Scotland and the Galloway mountains over the Solway.

Great stuff, a much neglected area of the country. I worked at Chapelcross for 3 years and always liked looking back at the views of Cumbria, and I've paddled the River Annan a few times and always enjoyed it. Lovely wooded, pastoral countryside around there.

Cheers, Michael.
