03\/09\/23 Carlisle – Gretna – Longtown<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Train to Carlisle and then a short ride (once the way out of Carlisle was located, always problematic) to the coast near Gretna where I failed to find the Lochmaben stone. More appropriate footwear was required. Oakbank Lakes<\/a> campsite was rather expensive, and charged an extra \u00a35 to use the facilities. What else was I going to do, crap on the grass?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
