Highest point of our 5 top 5 hour walk from Birse Castle, with L. Path through the heather then along fence line from Tampie. Derelict deer fence leading back east each with each rusted iron post still lodged into its own stone footing, often now on its side as the peat has eroded away. A fun bit of bog trotting through the relatively dry peat hags -reminding us of our native Peak District. | Chris Pearson | 22/09/2019 |
