Started 9.15am with a grey overcast sky. Within the hour, we were in the forestry track following Cornal burn.
Once out of the forestry below Croft head, there was some blue sky showing through. The track to Ettrick head is splendid with great views across Moffat dale. At this point we decided to take the route to Over Phawhope bothy as this was new to us.
Again the view down the Ettrick valley is also splendid.
Tomorrow we have a campsite booked at Tibbieshiels which is only 11 miles away.
As the bothy was empty we have decided to stay here tonight. Just watching 2 deer as the sun starts to sink, below White shank.

About Me
- Alan R
- I am 59 and live in the North West of England with my soulmate Sheila. I have been backpacking and hiking since my early teens. Those early days were mainly spent in the Peak District. Having aquired the basic skills i have since enjoyed both long backpacking trips and shorter hikes in Northern and southern Spain, Iceland, Norway, Madeira, New Zealand, Tasmania, Australia, Majorca, England, Scotland and Wales. Many people i have met along the way have remained friends to this day. It is a pleasure to have met them.
