I crashed out of the Southern Upland Way walk today, due to problems with my toe and the injury sustained yesterday on my shin. I only managed about 4 miles up the path towards Tibbie Shiels before I decided I couldn't finish the walk and called for my lift. Walked down into Moffatt and found a lovely little town, full of shops and cafes.
