Northern half of the Ettrick Horseshoe, 20km along the tops to the Over Phawhope Bothy and then an easy 13km back to the car along the road. One day perhaps I'll be fit enough to do the whole horseshoe

Driving from #Ettrick we stopped on the hill to Moa Flat to inspect an unfamiliar #plant I'd seen on some roadside banks, 26 December 2023. Photos by @unearth It's exotic, from #Australia Vittadinia gracilis.

Boxing Day afternoon we drove to Ettrick in search of a #hay display I'd heard about, thanks @dubh ~guess it's this! Plus a view down the hillside on the steep descent from Moa Flat to #Ettrick taken by @unearth
