Starting from Grange Bridge after the usual up and down of Castle Crag taking in the remembrance day service we make our way back towards Grange branching off round by Hollows farm then a steep climb up by Nitting Haws onto the ridge then over to High Spy where lunch will be taken. After lunch we drop down Rigghead Quarries passing by Scaleclose Gill and along and down into the Glaramara centre

A Walk

Castle Crag to Seatoller

8 Miles Grade 1

Leader: Andy Williamson

Coach Walk-Rosehill:8.20am-Sands:8.30am

We meet at the usual Kilngreen car park at 9.45am. This circular walk takes us to the banks of the Tarras Water which is one of the tributaries of the River Esk. We head south out of the town and follow the track via the Round House and Broomholmshiels to a minor road passing the Laverock Bird Hide and eventually reaching the Rashiel Bridge and the Tarras Water. We turn right following the path near the river. The ground here is very wet so waterproof boots are an asset! We pass the “Bungee” bridge and enjoy this remote and beautiful place. The ancient track turns right and we follow the river right to the Tarras bridge. We negotiate the hair pin bends of the recently repaired road after the landslide of December 2015 and soon pick up the track of the old railway line and return to Langholm via the Skippers Bridge, Murtholm and the Buccleuch Park. Refreshments will be taken at the Church Cafe for £2 where there is also a very reasonable sales table.
