Carlavin

Unusually, it’s been a glorious Bank Holiday weekend and so we’ve tried to make the most of it by getting out into the hills. But with the Lake District destined to be busy, we chose the Southern Uplands instead, anticipating that we were likely to have a quieter day. Our Sunday walk from Talla Linn was wonderful, following the Gameshope Burn track to the Bothy before taking a steepish route up to the plateau summit of Carlavin where there were stunning views across the Moffat Hills. And as hoped, we didn’t see a single soul once we passed the Bothy!
