Mains of Machermore

Leaving our site here, we headed further westward to our destination near Newton Stewart. On our way, we stopped off at Castle Douglas for a look around the town. It was full of independent shops, cafes etc. We had met a couple on our walk to Rockcliffe the previous day who had told K about a great sewing shop that had to be visited. Needless to say, some fabric was purchased from a very friendly shop owner who could not be described as dynamic. We decided to take the scenic route, which took us along the shoreline of Loch Ken. The weather was a bit grim, but the clouds lifted enough for us to get out and have a view along the Loch.
Our home for two nights was a nice CL site on a farm about 1 mile outside Newton Stewart.
We set up in the rain, and after lunch, put our wet gear on for a walk into town. It was nice enough with the river running through it. Its main attraction for us was Aldi, where we bought some supplies. We were a bit damp upon returning to the van.Baca lagi
