Walk Report

In Rookhope we crossed the Rookhope Burn via some stepping stones at NY941423. Due to recent dry weather, the burn water level was low, so consequently the crossing was easy. If the burn was in spate this may not be the case. However, there are choices of bridges nearby. ( Paul Nellist)
