Gate on the Southern Upland Way The notice informs of a realignment of the path. Blackburn Mill farm is across the field. I thought the ATV heading across the field [left] was going to give me my marching orders [I was off-tarmac with my car], but the farmer was checking on her cows and was coming across to check that I was alright, which was nice. We had an interesting talk about modern youth, the flat earth and an approaching planet blocking the real sky.

Blackburn Bungalow Not what I would call a bungalow - perhaps it's been extended? The avenue of trees is 160m long, and the Southern Upland Way runs alongside it.
