Southern Upland Way - (9) St Marys Loch to Minch Moor

After a short break, I return to St Mary's loch to continue and complete the Southern Upland Way. On the first day of the expedition I walk approx. 15 miles from St Mary's Loch to Minch Moor passing the village of Traquair.

What happened to Mr Globetrotter?

[@smujiodome]

Great stuff but we got a bit confused about Globetrotter.

[@hfthscot]

That's ok, Mr Globetrotter is often confused himself

Nice one Andy, Was down that way last year and the year before, so I might as well try and get back down this year. Is that woodstove heavy? I have a firebox stove, but I wouldn't' take it with me on a long distance as it weighs a ton. Atb Glenn.

[@hfthscot]

It's a wee bit heavy but not too bad, I think it weights around 500g. I don't mind taking it if I'm going to be carrying a plastic bag anyway. It's folds down.

Hello Mr.Hill, is Tibbie Shiels Inn still shut doon?

[@hfthscot]

Yes Stag I'm afraid so, all be converted into part of the house. Even the campsite is now private use only. I think the owners had some trouble with Yobs a while back, from what I was reading on a news article on Google.

[@OldStag72]

Thanks for very quick response Mr Hill. I heard some bam shot their cat so they chucked it Just finished the Cowal Way yesterday, looking at this or Hebridean for my next one in a few weeks.

[@hfthscot]

Jolly good. What did you think of Cowal Way? I did that one two years ago.

[@OldStag72]

I enjoyed it. Did it over four days to save me doing a mental Glendaruel to Lochgoilhead day, Finsihed at Inveruglas and had booked a bus to take me up to Inverarnan to finish at Beinglas with a Madras and chips.
Could do with more pubs on the route. Both Glendaruel and Strachur pubs seem to be long shut down.
