touring, briefly..

 We headed for warmer dryer weather...and started in Newton Stewart..over the bridge to Minnigaff and up the Cree Valley. We passed the Youth Hostel which surprisingly, for a bank holiday weekend, looked rather sad and closed.

A photo stop, at a waterfall I've used for a lino print...could get inspired with this one again...

 A happy Pirate
 more water..
 at the foot of this....so I walked up!
 We rode up the eastern side of the valley as far as the road to Glen Trool, but turned away to cross the valley and up onto the moors , crossing the Southern Upland Way to the Knowe Road , then back down the western side of the valley to Newton Stewart.
You can see we've been having plenty of rain...

I saw you over at The Bike Shed, and seeing we have 2 blogs in common, it seemed impolite not to come over and say 'Hi'!

It looks like you had a cracking day... if there was no rain, there wouldn't be wonderful waterfalls like the one you explored :)
