This morning we drove out of Hawick, down the A7 turning off at Langholm and onto the road to Lockerbie.
We turned right at Bentpath, over a bridge, left at a church, then turned right about one-thousand yard towards the North. We pulled into a car park and proceeded to walk on foot towards Greensykes bothy.

Greensykes bothy appears from the forest track.The visitors book, I enjoy reading the entries, shame they get burned, pages torn out to light kindling.Inside, a seated area, two bed platforms and a wood burner; a kitchen, without utilities is behind.The other room, I've slept in both rooms, and not alone.Nice garden.
Returning to the car, we noticed a broken foot bridge and whilst driving a rare white peacock.
There was much low cloud, the path clogged my boots, but I was not put off by the weather. It took about forty minutes to walk to the bothy, we looked at the Cheviot ewes and their newborn lambs along the way. To observe life unabated is truly a healing thing.
