| Due to an earlier appointment we only met up at 11.00am on Wednesday so a local walk at Canonbie was the plan especially as I was looking at a route for another walk in the Langholm Walks booklet. These steps have been provided by the council on this walk as part of the Core Path Network and it is our intention to incorporate it into the Langholm W.alks network |

| The route took us to Rowanburn and then down the old railway line. Buccleuch Estates are felling trees next to the line so a lot of hard core has been put on the old line to enable trucks to collect the timber. They assure me when they are finished the path will be restored and should be much better than before. |

| Next to the Rowanburnfoot road the cleared area has now been replanted with deciduous trees which will eventually be a big improvement. We finished our walk with tea and cakes at the Community Cafe at Canonbie kirk. A pot of tea each plus scone and cake for the 4 of us all came to just under £10 and was superb. The best value for money at any cafe I have ever been to. |
