I've been out recceing the coastal walk I'll be doing in the Newton Stewart Walk Festival next month.
I'd have been out again today only I've picked up a twinge in my side.
I thought I'd upload a few pictures instead.
I've blogged this coastline many times so I'll be selective with the pictures.
Starting from St Medans and going south the first recce got me down to Laggan Camp below Carleton Fell.
Here then are the photos.

Physgill House and ruins at Glasserton Home Farm
After parking the car at Glasserton Church, I was making my way to the coast via the Home Farm when a thought of a detour crossed my mind.
On the southern rocky slopes leading up to the Fell of Carleton there's a feature on the Ordnance Survey map. I'd failed to find it in a previous search.
Ducks on pond by Broad Lane Wood
This looks promising for my search !

More Cup and Ring marks than you can shake a stick at. I'm chuffed I found it, I must try and include it in the Ramblers walk in June.
Back on the cliff tops, I'd seen this animal leaping around earlier. I slowed my pace to see if I could get closer to him
Closer
This was the closest. Aren't those horns brilliant.
Travelling at the speed of light I just caught the tail end of this bunny
There are always birds of one kind or another
Choosing to ignore my passing, the cattle are quite placid today

April showers for the weekend. I might get a dry day next week to complete my St Ninians to the Isle of Whithorn next week.
My two favourite coastal areas of Galloway are this one and the North Rhins.
In Bernard Matthews turkey terms it's "Bootiful"
