Comments |
There was high bracken and indistinct paths. We stopped for lunch at the head of Carey Burn on a grassy bank. All the buildings had red guttering. Ken slipped on some loose stones and injured his knee. Wildlife: Deer, four rabbits, several grouse, skylark, heron on the river. Nice clean cows. Flora: Thistles, hairbells, campanella, foxgloves, ragwort, cotton grass, broom, orange berries on rowan trees. Also a dead adder, rabbits, squashed frogs and a cuddly toy.
