Siloth to Bowness 23miles
 |
| Must be Roman! |
The wind was howling as I started out
today, it was fierce yesterday but today was another level! I walked
out of town and my first stop was Skinburness, here the road follows
the marshes around the river Waver. I decided early on not to risk
taking the scenic route across the marshes, even though it was way
marked I was only wearing my walking shoes so I didn't fancy wet feet
for most of the day
As I walked along the road around the estuary the
small villages came thick and fast Abbeytown, Newton Arlosh, Angerton and Whitrigg to name but a
few. At Bowrigg I was finally able to walk along the river for a while but this
soon turned inland and I had to eventually walk across a very muddy
farmers field to bring me back to the road at Applegarth. The rest
of the walk was along roads but I got my first proper view of the
Scottish coast and the big mountain that is Criffel, it look very
large and looming on the horizon but thankfully I have go around it!
Really hard on my feet today, sunny for most of the day but the
WIND....don't get me started!
