The town of Dumfries in southern Scotland is a favourite destination for me. It's a fairly short run - 70 miles by the quickest route but there are lots of options for a more meandering run and that's what I did today.

| The wilds of South Lanarkshire |
 |
| Dalveen Pass |
 |
| I'm sure I've never been here before. Durisdeer is just a few houses and a church |
 |
| The church dates from 1699 |
 |
| Old gravestones |
 |
Nearby
was this ford. It looked a bit deep and slippery so I chickened out and
rode over the footbridge. It had a timber plank deck but luckily it
carried myself and the FJ.

| A view of Drumlanrig Castle in the distance |
 |
| I found some deserted back roads…. |
 |
| …..that deteriorated into gravel and potholes. Not the ideal surface for the FJ |
 |
| The mouth of the River Nith |
 |
| Annandale on my way home |
