RogueRunners '26 - Day 6

We left Ecclefechan with the usual confusion over direction & took the B road parallel to the motorway, it used to be the main road, so it's wide & smooth & there's nothing on it. We crossed over the Water of Milk (it's a river) & passed through three close packed villages called Newton, Whamphray & Newton Whamphray, up ahead it was looking like rain might spoil the day. As we turned south through Elvanfoot, it started to rain, but it was pretty much confined to the high ground - pity this route was mostly on high ground.

We had a fuel stop at Sanquar where I found the two main cameras hadn't been working, fortunately the two auxiliary ones were fine so I have some video to work with. 

I got the rear one going, but on Day 5 I'd managed to set the front camera to slow motion, so I have about ten hours of v e r y  s l o w footage. 

We called into Straiton & the excellent “The Buck” tearoom run by the people that used to run the Carsphairn tearoom for the second day running. After our refreshment we took small roads to Newton Stewart for another re-fuel before taking bigger roads to Drummuir Farm ice cream parlour. Then another fill up in Annan & back to Ecclefechan where we found that Steve had arrived.
