We took a drive to the Mull of Galloway, which is the most southerly point in Scotland. The journey was a but tedious with all the lorries heading to Stranraer along the A75 limited to 40mph. It was worth it once we got to the Mull. There is one of Stephenson’s lighthouses and an RSPB…
It rained. All day. We took the dogs out for a brief walk along the road and all got wet. We decided to head out for tea. We tried the Borgue Hotel – resistance was not required and it turned out to be futile – the pub behind the hotel was closed. We decided to…
We drove to the parking near to Loch Ken Holiday Park. On the opposite side of the road is a short footpath up to a Red Kite viewing station. There were a few birds around, but no kites. We continued on the path to Glenlaggan Wood on which there were plenty of small birds and…
We decided to walk from the cottage again, but this time heading in the opposite direction along the coast. We followed the track, which is also a marked footpath, around Balmangan Bar. We had a look around the remains of the Manse and graveyard, though we missed the gravestone with skull and crossbones. We walked…
We walked from the cottage around the coastal path. None of the paths are marked on the OS maps, so the printout in the cottage from the Dumfries and Galloway council website came in handy. We circled round Meikle Ross and then round the Mull of Ross to Brighouse Bay where we ate our picnic…
We had a clear run from Bredbury to Creel Cottage at the Ross Bay Retreat. We had lunch at the Westmorland services en route. We had tea at the cottage and took a short walk around Ross Bay and onto to hill above Blackstone. The following is a test of NextGEN gallery.

Everything was packed up at Guacimara (http://igueste.com/) and we were on the road away from Igueste by 8:30am. We arrived at the airport in plenty of time, filling up the car with diesel (only 28 Euros!) just before the drop off point. Ady and I had no queue at all for the Monarch bag drop…
Ady and I spent the day lazing on the terrace. Mum and Dad took a short walk along the beach in the morning. We had lunch at the house. Late afternoon we drove to San Andres and had tea at Restaurant Pepin. After tea we drove on to Santa Cruz and walked around the auditorio…
Ady and I went on the walk that mum and dad did on Tuesday. We made it all the way to Las Casillas and had lunch in a shady spot just after the abandoned village. The views were amazing all the way up, but it was extremely hot. After lunch we carried on a short…
We got in the car and drove back along the road to San Andres where we turned inland and wound our way up the Anaga mountains to the Miradore Pico des Ingles. The views from there were fantastic especially given that we had yet another gloriously clear and sunny day. We carried on over the…
