T-W-T Raiders Road

The planned date was sabotaged by Storm Amy, and sadly two of our walkers were unable to make the rearranged date, opting instead to visit some inland water for a brief spell before the full force of the storm hit. The rest of us enjoyed a mild lovely autumnal day stopping at 4 sites along the Raiders Road. The road is a 10 mile non-metalled road through the Galloway Forest Park.
