Day 2. Stranraer to New Luce. 13 miles
Started the walk at 9.30 in heavy rain. Similar terrain to yesterday but with today's rain the going was so much more sticky. Managed to get knee-deep into the mire on two occasions. After 6 miles, came to Castle Kennedy. Got a coffee takeout from the garage outside and looked for a seat to taken my elevens. No luck but got talking to yet another Englishman living north of the border. He likens Alex Salmond to Adolf Hitler. Much of the afternoon walk was in woodland. -Lots of "Mighty Scots Pine" in evidence. Not too many Larch as yet. Finished the walk at 15.45. Weather. Heavy rain until 11 then walked in low cloud followed by dry but overcast. Typing this report in the bar of the digs where upwards of ten locals are chatting. It's like listening to 10 Rab C Nesbitts. They're all going ay ay ay and they all live in hooooses. Latest on the referendum. Ayes 0 Noos 3 don't knooows 1 knee votin' 1.
