Dalbeattie Forest

I didn’t do any running yesterday but instead we drove along to the Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s most southerly point.  Again, the weather was amazing.  So much so that when we parked the van a certain way out by the cliffs there was no wind at all and it made a little suntrap…

  

After chilling out there for a while and scoffing cake and coffee in the café, we drove along to Wigtown, which is full of bookshops. 

Tonight’s campsite was the best of the lot and we wished we had found it right from the start and spent all three nights there.  It’s not our usual type of campsite though as I imagine in summer it will be heaving and full of kids but we were the only people on site so we had the run of the place.

Sunset... 

 We awoke to thick fog this morning though and our run of great weather had come to an end although it wasn’t raining so not too bad and once you got high enough up there were blue skies.

We drove to Dalbeattie Forest today, which is another one of the 7 Stanes.  Duncan went for a bike ride again and I ran with Ruby through the forest and by the side of a frozen loch.

 

Again, I arrived back at the van first so got the kettle on and made some lunch and Duncan arrived back just as the kettle had boiled. 

We pretty much drove home after that via the scenic route along the coast.  Great long weekend in Scotland, can’t wait for the next one.  Wish I had bought the van years ago!  

Total distance – 6.5 miles
